ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING The anti-tip devices are not designed to bear the weight of the
wheelchair and rider. Failure to heed this warning when climbing or
descending stairs, curbs, steps or other objects could result in
damage to the wheelchair and cause the wheelchair to tip or fall
causing severe injury to you or others.
ARMREST
The armrests are detachable. They are not designed to bear the weight of the wheelchair.
WARNING Never try to lift the wheelchair by its armrest. They may come loose
or break. If this occurs, the wheelchair may fall and cause severe
injury to you or others. Lift the wheelchair only by non-detachable
parts of the main frame.
BATTERIES
Never tamper with the batteries on this wheelchair.
WARNING The type of batteries used on this wheelchair contain a highly
corrosive acid. Never let the acid come in contact with yourself or
any other object. If you fail to heed these warnings, you may suffer
severe burns or other injury and/or cause damage to anything that
comes into contact with the acid.
If the batteries become damaged, contact your authorized
Wheelchairs of Kansas dealer immediately for replacement. Always
read and follow battery manufacturer’s directions.
Your PEV Powerchair could have either Gel batteries (sealed) or Lead Acid. You and your
dealer, once having assessed your intended use of the powerchair, should make this choice.
The primary difference between the two types are, lead acid holds approximately 20% more
charge so they can go longer between charges. Lead acid can also be recharged in twice the
time of a sealed battery. Lead acid batteries require periodic maintenance. If tipped over they
can leak acid and need special handling if being transported by an airline.
Do not rely on the battery charger to tell whether or not the batteries are fully charged. Do not
rely on the voltage indicator on the joystick to tell whether or not the batteries have been fully
charged, or if the batteries can maintain a charge. Periodic inspection needs to be done with
the proper test equipment and trained service personnel. It is normal for batteries to gradually
wear down and require longer charging times. See maintenance section for additional care
instructions of battery.
