•
Put the handle back on the battery to allow it to be carried.
•
On one side the battery box is connected to the battery by an Allen screw. Unscrew this and
remove it.
•
The battery can be lifted out of the battery box by the handle after the pole clamps have been
removed.
•
Reverse these processes when replacing the batteries.
L
These tasks should be undertaken by the specialist dealer.
L
Make sure that no tools or other conducting objects make contact with both poles of the
batteries, or the resulting electric currents can cause injuries.
L
No work involving the batteries and the electronics should be undertaken in damp conditions.
L
When connecting the batteries, you should consult the circuit diagram on the battery box lid.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage/injury caused by improper handling.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
BATTERY STORAGE
If you do not use your wheelchair for a long while, you can leave it connected to the battery charger.
Charging is automatically controlled by the battery charger. If you remove and store the batteries,
kindly note the following:
•
Remove the cable clamps from the poles of the battery.
•
The positive pole must be covered by at least one pole cap.
•
Only grasp the batteries by two opposite sides of the unit.
•
Ensure no objects get in between the poles (a short-circuit could occur!).
•
Batteries should only be stored in dry, well-ventilated spaces at a temperature b5°C and
+45°C.
•
Leave batteries in their battery boxes so they are protected from damp, etc.
•
Protect the plugs and sockets of the battery boxes against corrosion.
•
Protect the batteries against drainage (see "Charging the batteries" section).
L
If batteries are not used, they can completely drain.
Your dealer will be happy to advise you on storage and with inspecting your batteries.
THERMAL FUSES
To protect the motor against overload, on the right side of the seat frame there is a thermal fuse that
will automatically cut off the motor to prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear or
breakdowns. This can occur if you go up or down slopes that exceed the maximum gradient indicated.
Nominal loads exceeding the maximum could also trigger the safety mechanism. If you try to drive
with the brakes on, it could also result in overload. The values to comply with are indicated in the
“Technical Details” section. To be able to use the wheelchair again, remove the overload and wait till
the motor has cooled off, and then gently press in the thermal fuse again. The system is now ready for
use again.
