BATTERIES
PROBLEMS RELATED WITH THE CHARGING PROCESS
1.
Lack of voltage indication after connecting the charger.
Check the connection of power cords.
Check the connection socket of the charger.
Check the functioning of the ventilator.
2.
Red and yellow LEDs on the battery charge indicator are lighten up, but the ventilator does not
turn on, despite the fact that the power is on.
Check whether the charger is properly connected to the batteries.
3.
Red LED on the battery charge indicator lights up permanently and the green LED flashes, lack of
charging signal despite the fact that the power is on.
Check the antipolarising fuse.
Check the connection with batteries.
Check the polarisation of batteries.
Check whether the batteries are properly located.
BATTERIES
1. The wheelchair is equipped with batteries with long lifespan. Batteries are sealed and they do not
require maintenance (the so-called maintenance-free batteries).
2. The following situations can cause increased energy consumption and hence decrease the range of
the wheelchair: ascending hills, overload, winter.
3. Observing the following principles will allow to prolong the lifespan of batteries:
Avoid complete discharge of batteries. Charge the battery after everyday use.
During first charging, disconnect the plug after 40 hours, when the battery is fully charged.
IF you are not using the wheelchair on regular basis, to maintain durability of batteries,
charge them every three days, observing a full charging cycle.
ATTENTION
1.
Do not take the cover out from maintenance-free batteries. It is not allowed to add water to
the battery.
2.
Leak of acid from the battery may cause burns or loss of vision. In case when the acid from
the battery comes into touch with the skin, eyes, garments or any other object, rinse it
thoroughly with running water and immediately report to undergo medical consultation.
3.
Do not use other batteries than the original batteries attached to the wheelchair, as this may
result in product damage.
4.
Make sure that during transport, both the wheelchair and batteries are properly secured.
5.
Batteries are subject to wearing and that is why the range of the wheelchair will decrease.
6.
It is essential to exchange the battery when the range of the wheelchair decreased by half,
despite complete charging of the battery.
7.
It is essential to change both batteries at the same time, in order to ensure their long-lasting
and effective functioning.
