!! CAUTION !!
:
Be certain the wall cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet before moving the
wheelchair. Moving the wheelchair without disconnecting the wall cord could result in damage to the
wheelchair, the wall outlet or create a shock hazard condition.
+++
:
Because you will be connecting and disconnecting AC to the wheelchair, be cautious
of doing so in the presence of water (i.e., rain or puddled water). Electrical shock hazard could be pres-
ent. Observe caution and safety warnings.
+++
:
Lead-acid batteries generate gasses which can be explosive. Avoid smoking, sparks
or open fl ames around charging batteries. Charge in area with adequate ventilation.
+++
:
Chargers can ignite fl ammable materials and gasses. Do not use near fuels, grain dust,
solvents, thinners or other fl ammable materials. Charge in area with adequate ventilation.
Charging Notes:
Regular use of your chair will require regular charging. It is a common misconception that batteries need
to be run into deep discharge before recharging. This is not true and can lead to damage of the batteries if
they are discharged too deeply before recharge. Likewise, if batteries are stored or used for a long period
of time without recharge, this may result in permanent damage to the batteries resulting in unreliable
operation and shortened battery life. Maximum driving range of your wheelchair can be obtained if the
batteries are fully charged prior to a lengthy trip. Because the charger is a fully automatic charger, it
can be "on charge" for an indefi nite period of time without harm to the batteries.
Fuse:
There are no replaceable fuses in the charger. This charger uses solid state technology to protect the
unit and the batteries until the fault has been removed.
Service/ Troubleshooting:
Should your charger fail to perform:
1. First, check that all connections are properly made for a fully assembled wheelchair. On some
equipment, the charger lines go through the motor plug, so if the motor plug is disconnected for some
reason, then the charger will not function. Likewise, if the batteries are not connected, they will not
receive a charge, and the meter will not give an indication.
2. Check that the wall outlet has power to it. The outlet may be on a switch and will not function if
not switched on.
If these steps fail to produce satisfactory results, please refer to an authorized service center to have the
system fully analyzed.
