20.8 Battery replacement
Karma strongly recommends that battery replacement and installation always
be done by a qualified technician. To replace the batteries, please refer to the
photos below of the batteries equipped on the Morgan M series, and follow the
below instructions to remove and load the batteries. The weight of one battery
could be more than 10 kg. Please handle it with care.
⚫
Do turn off the power of the wheelchair before replacing or loading
the batteries.
⚫
Do NOT allow conductive material such as a wrench to contact
BOTH battery terminals at the same time. This will result in a short
that can cause burns to you and damage the battery.
⚫
Most batteries are not sold with instructions. However, warnings are
frequently noted on top of the batteries. Read them carefully.
⚫
Do NOT allow the liquid in the battery to come in contact with skin,
clothes or other items. It is a form of acid and may cause harmful or
damaging burns. Should the liquid come into contact with skin, rinse
the area immediately and thoroughly with cool water. If liquid comes
into contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately and seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
⚫
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles are recommended
when working with batteries.
⚫
NEVER smoke or strike a match near the batteries.
⚫
Replace the batteries IMMEDIATELY if there are any cracks or leaks.
