3.5.4 General information on charging the battery pack
•
Do not charge the battery pack in the presence or vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
•
In the (unlikely) event of the battery pack overheating or catching on fire, you must ensure that the battery does not come into con-
tact with water or other liquids. The only suitable extinguishing agent that is recommended by the battery manufacturers is sand.
•
Do not carry out the charging process in rooms where moisture may affect the battery pack.
•
Carry out the charging process with the wheelchair in a location that has at least twice the space required by the wheelchair itself and
that provides sufficient ventilation, in order to avoid the danger of flammable gas accumulating.
•
Explosive gases may form during charging. Keep the wheelchair and charger away from sources of ignition, such as flames and sparks.
•
Never charge the battery pack at temperatures under 0 °C or over 45 °C.
3.5.5 Safety instructions for the charger and charging process
•
Switch off the system before starting the charging process. If the battery pack is charged directly on the e-pilot, the e-pilot (and the
wheelchair, if attached) should be secured using the brakes to prevent it inadvertently rolling away.
•
Only use the enclosed charger to charge the battery pack. The charging process ends automatically when the battery pack is fully
charged. Overcharging is therefore not possible.
•
Do not use any other charger than the one supplied by Alber.
•
Do not charge any other batteries with the charger; only charge the e-pilot battery pack.
•
If the e-pilot is not used for a longer period of time (more than one day) the charger should not remain on the e-pilot the whole time.
Disconnect the charger from the battery pack first before disconnecting it from the mains socket.
•
Do not expose the charger to moisture of any kind during charging (water, rain water, snow, etc.).
•
Be aware of condensation. If the charger is brought from a cold area into a warm room, condensation may occur on and in the device.
In this case, refrain from using the charger until all condensation has dissipated. Please note that this may take several hours.
•
Do not carry out the charging process in rooms where moisture may affect the charger.
•
Never carry the charger by its power cable or the charger cables.
•
Never tug at the power cable to disconnect the charger from the mains socket.
•
Lay the mains cable and charging cable so that no-one can tread on them or trip over them. Do not expose the two cables to any other
harmful influences or stresses.
•
Do not operate the charger if the power cable, the charging cable or the plugs attached to the cables are damaged. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately by a specialist dealer that has been authorised by Alber.
•
Do not use or disassemble the charger if it has received a hard blow or was dropped or damaged in some other way. Take the damaged
charger to a specialist dealer that has been authorised by Alber to perform repairs.
•
The charger must not be used by young children.
•
The charger is designed to operate only with mains alternating voltage of 207 V to 264 V.
•
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the charger.
•
Do not cover the charger during the charging process or place any objects on top of the device.
•
Never subject cable and plug to any pressure. Overstretching or bending the cable, pinching cables between a wall and a window frame
or placing heavy objects on a cable or a plug may result in electric shock or fire.
•
Never connect the two terminals of the charging cable to any metal objects.
•
Ensure that the mains plug is firmly inserted in the socket.
•
Do not touch the mains plug or the charging cable plug with wet hands.
•
Do not use the plug of the charger and/or the mains plug if they are wet or dirty. Before inserting them, clean the plugs using a dry
cloth.
•
Once the charging process is complete, first disconnect the charging plug from the socket on the battery pack and then disconnect the
plug of the charger from the mains socket.
•
Ensure that no moisture can get into the charger socket [10] on the battery after the charger is disconnected.
Before and after charging, ensure that the charger plug [25] and the charger socket [10] on the battery pack are
clean and that there are no metallic particles. If there are any metallic particles, remove these with a clean, dry
cloth to prevent the risk of a short circuit or loss of contact.
