Charging Using an Independent Charger Plugged Into the Joystick
WARNING
READ and CAREFULLY follow the individual instructions for each charger (supplied
or purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified
technician for proper procedures.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries using BOTH the on-board battery
charger AND an independent battery charger (plugged into the joystick charger
port) at the SAME time. Doing so will reduce the life of the batteries.
CAUTION
Only use a charger approved by Invacare when charging through the joystick on this
wheelchair model.
DO NOT use an independent charger with an output rating of over 8A (Amps).
Otherwise, damage may occur.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 21.5.
NOTE: The charger port located on the front of the joystick requires the use of an independent
charger. The independent charger is NOT supplied with the wheelchair.
1. Attach the battery charger connector to the charger port on the front of the joystick.
2. Plug the charger’s AC power cord or extension into the grounded 110-volt wall outlet.
3. When charging is complete, turn charger off.
4. Disconnect output cable from joystick charger port.
