E. CHARGING BATTERIES
To avoid the risk of severe injury or death from electrical shock, fire or explosion
while charging:
1. Never connect charger to a source greater than 230 volts.
2. Connect charger to the batteries BEFORE connecting the charger to the power
supply.
• Never connect or disconnect charger from battery while there is power to the
charger. CHECK CAREFULLY
3. Never use an extension cord. Use of an improper cord could damage the charger,
or cause a fire or electrical shock.
4. A battery emits hydrogen gas during charging. To reduce the risk of fire:
• Make sure area is well-vented. Never charge battery in a closed-in area.
• Never smoke or allow a spark, flame or high heat near battery during charging.
• Never allow metal tools or chair parts to make direct contact across both battery
terminals.
Always:
l. Use the charger that comes with your wheelchair. Read and follow all instructions and
warnings.
2. Make sure room is well-ventilated.
3. Turn off all power to your chair.
4. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution. Only connect the charger to the
power supply after the charger has been connected to the chair.
5. Make sure to allow enough time to fully charge batteries.
Note: Batteries should never be left for long periods in the discharged state. Unused
or stored batteries should be given a charge once per month.
6. Charge batteries by engaging charger connector (A) to the charger/programmer port
(B) located on the joystick.
F. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES
1. All batteries, once they have reached the end of their useful life, are deemed to be
hazardous waste.

authority.
