CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your C.T.M. power chair is equipped with two, service free 12V 14Ah rechargeable
batteries and one 24V/2A on-board charger. Batteries must be charged before
using the power chair for the first time and recommended to be charged up to
8 - 14 hours after each day's use. Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position
and the free-wheeling lever is in the "D" position.
1.Insert the battery charger cord into the charging socket on the joystick.
The time needed to recharge will vary depending on the depletion of the
batteries. Charging for longer than necessary will not harm the batteries.
They cannot be overcharged.
2.Plug the other end of the power cable into a standard electrical wall outlet.
3.Once the batteries are fully charged, the light on the charger will change to green, please
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and the power chair. The power cord should
be stored in a safe and dry location until it will be used again.
4.If after charging your power chair over 8 - 14 hours and it does not function, please check:
•
fuse is not burned out
•
the power chair is turned off
•
circuit breaker is pushed in
•
if none of these is a problem, contact your authorized dealer.
Keep in mind these rules
：
•
Fully charge batteries at least once a month, more if you use the power chair regularly.
Charge after each trip exceeding 3 kilometers / 1.86 miles.
•
If storing your power chair for some time (one month or more) make sure that the
batteries are fully charged, and on returning, charge them again before using the
power chair.
Batteries will only give the maximum performance after the power chair has been used,
and the batteries have been recharged up to 10 times.
For safety, please follow the guidelines below.
1.DO NOT use the charger if the power cord is damaged.
2.DO NOT use an extension cord when charging your batteries. A risk of fire and/or
electric shock could be encountered.
3.DO NOT take apart the charger, as this will void the warranty.
