Part No 1125031
Battery Charger Operation
DANGER
When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least
16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as
the devise being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use
of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock
hazard to the user.
WARNING
READ and CAREFULLY follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each charger
(supplied or purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified
technician for proper procedures prior to use.
If the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, IMMEDIATELY unplug charger and contact
dealer or a qualified technician.
On-Board Battery Charger
WARNING
Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size, and shape as

the charger AC cable plug or the extension cord plug.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 20.4 on page 157.

1. Plug the female connector of the AC power cord (supplied) to the AC receptacle on
the charger and plug in the male connector on the AC power cord into the wall outlet.
2. The On/Off LED indicator illuminates solid RED indicating that the charger is On.
3. If the On/Off LED indicator is “Blinking” RED, this is abnormal. Unplug AC power
cord from the on-board battery charger and wall outlet. Contact Invacare at the
number listed on the back page of this manual.
4. When the On/Off LED indicator light is Off, charger is Off.
5. When the Charge LED indicator light is YELLOW, the batteries are charging.
