Training in the use of your battery charger
We recommend you ask your dealer for a demonstration of :
charging the batteries,
indications of when the battery charge level is low
the correct method of connecting the battery charger
indications when the battery charger is operating correctly
how to determine when the batteries are fully charged
How to get maximum battery life
Fully charge your batteries BEFORE using them for the first time
Your batteries must be charged after each usage. It is recommended that you recharge the batteries
as soon as possible after use.
Avoid heavily discharging the batteries by restricting the distances you drive for the first ten charge
and discharge cycles. This will help to extend the life of the batteries.
DO NOT fully discharge the batteries as this will reduce battery life
Make sure the batteries are fully recharged before re-using
Use the correct battery charger as supplied by your wheelchair dealer
How to get the maximum driving distance from your batteries
You can help to get the maximum driving distance from your batteries by:
fully charging the batteries before use
ensuring the wheels and castors rotate and turn smoothly
your tyre pressures are correctly inflated
planning your route to avoid slopes, hills, rough, sandy or uneven surfaces if possible
limiting additional items being carried
avoiding driving patterns that use more energy such as
- fast acceleration
- start/stop driving
Electrical circuit protection
The power circuit on the TRAXX 2 Rear Wheel Drive is
protected by
1.
a circuit breaker located in the rear battery box.
Should the circuit breaker operate for any
reason, opening the power circuit and stopping
the chair operation, it can be reset by pushing
the button located on the top of the battery box.
2.
An in-line fuse located in the blue cables
connected to the circuit breaker
IMPORTANT NOTE :
if the circuit breaker does not reset, or the circuit breaker continues to trip, please
contact your dealer and seek assistance.
If an in-fuse blows, contact your dealer to check the battery box cables for damage
