3. Caution – to avoid damage to the battery:
• Make sure you use the correct setting for sealed (gel) batteries (located on the off-
board charger).
• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze, but the fluid
in a discharged battery can freeze at minus 9 degrees Centigrade. If you suspect a
battery is frozen, thaw it before charging.
Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas while charging. Completely read and
follow all warnings about the batteries in this user instruction manual and any
labels applied to the product. Failure to do so could result in fire, explosion,
injury and/or death.
C. BATTERY ACID
The acid inside the batteries is corrosive. It can cause serious burns to the eyes and skin
and can damage floors, furniture, clothing and your wheelchair.
1. Do not puncture or attempt to open the batteries.
2. Do not use the batteries that are cracked or damaged.
3. If acid leaks from the battery and contacts your skin or clothing, wash immedi-
ately with soap and water.
4. If acid leaks from the battery and contacts your eyes, immediately flood eyes with
cold running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
D. CONNECTING BATTERIES IN BATTERY COMPARTMENT
1. Batteries weigh up to 25 kg. Take care to avoid injury when lifting.
2. Keep batteries upright.
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.
4. Before working around batteries, remove all metal personal effects, such as
necklaces, rings, watches, pins and other metal jewellery that might contact bat-
tery terminal and cause a short.
1. Lift batteries into battery compartment.
Batteries weigh up to 55 pounds (25 kg). Lifting batteries may cause back strain.
If you fail to heed these warnings severe injury may occur to you.
2. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution. Connect the red lead to the pos-
itive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal. Do this for each battery.
3. Tighten all terminal fasteners using two 1/2" (13 mm) box end wrenches to 60 in-lbs
(6.8 Nm).
4. Place the battery compartment lid on power base and secure using the two (2) quar-
ter turn fasteners (push down on fasteners).
Never make direct contact across both battery terminals, as an explosion may
occur. A spark may result in an explosion and/or fire, resulting in severe injury or
death.
