7.2.1 Charging the batteries
Consult the user manual of the battery charger to determine if this is suitable for the
batteries in use. For technical specifications see chapter 9.
Charging the batteries
First, switch off the wheelchair’s controller.
Put the charge plug of the battery charger in the charge connector of the controller

CONTROLLER
Activate the battery charger. This depends on the type of battery charger. Consult the
user manual of your battery charger.
If the wheelchair is not being used, we recommend charging the batteries via the
battery charger. For normal use, the batteries should be charged every night.
The battery charger’s display will indicate when the batteries have been fully charged.
Depending on how depleted the batteries are, it may take up to 12 hours before the
batteries are once again fully charged.
7.2.2 Maintaining the batteries
Ensure that the batteries are always fully charged. Not using the batteries for a long
period of time can damage them.
Do not use the wheelchair if the batteries are almost depleted and never completely
deplete the batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and you may run the
risk of coming to an unintended standstill.
7.2.3 Replacing the batteries
If the capacity of the batteries is continually decreasing so that the wheelchair can only
be used for short trips, this will mean that the batteries are the end of their lifespan. The
batteries will then need to be replaced. Please contact your dealer for assistance.
7.3 Tyres
To ensure that your wheelchair functions properly, it essential that the tyres are kept at
the correct pressure. The maximum pressure can be found on the tyre and table 7.1.

Batteries contain acids. Damaged batteries can cause severe danger to
your health. Follow the instructions on the batteries at all times.
