IMPORTANT NOTICE for Encora Electric chairs  
 

 

On receipt of the chair the battery must be fully charged before use. 

 

It is recommended that the battery is charged for at least 8 hours. 

 

DO NOT let the battery completely discharge as this will render it unable to fully

and this 

is not 

covered under warranty. 

 

It is recommended that the battery is charged regularly overnight to prevent complete 
discharge. 

 

The chair may be used and operated whilst it is being charged.
