After following all the steps in General Operation proceed with the following.
1.
Note that the battery tray is foldable and will unfold with the chair. See
Figure to understand that the battery tray is non removable and is foldable
as Fig 12 shows.
2.
Insert the battery box with the external power connection towards the front
of the chair.
3.
There are two batteries. Attach the wiring loom to each battery making sure
that the correct polarity is observed. A placard fixed in the battery box lid
illustrates correct wiring. Lift each battery with the lifting harness attached
into position, connect the power cables to the appropriate plugs and ensure
that the power cables are clear of obstacles when replacing the battery box
lid. Tighten the battery box-securing strap.
4.
Slide the power control module into the mounting bracket under the armrest
and secure it into position. Your control module can be mounted either on
the left or right hand side of the chair. Should you wish to change the
Mounting of the power module, contact your authorized Alero Dealership.
5.
Ensure that all the power connections are correctly fitted.
