Notes:
!
The wheelchair cannot be driven when the charger plug is connected.
!
The battery will not charge if the main switch on the battery box is switched off
(see sector 10)
To charge the battery, insert the small round plug on the lead from the battery charger into the
socket beneath the front of the joystick module. Plug in the mains plug.
The battery charger has four indicator lights.
LED1 (green):
This lights up to show the battery is connected to the
mains.
LED 2 (yellow):
This lights when charging commences and blinks when
the battery charged to 90%.
LED 3 (green):
This lights up to show that the battery is fully charged and
the charger is switched into the equalizing phase.
Simultaneously LED 2 switches off.
LED 4 (red):
If this lights up the battery is connected in reverse polarity.
Disconnect the mains supply immediately and contact
your local agent for advice.
To disconnect the charger, unplug the main plug then remove the small round plug from the
wheelchair joystick module.
The battery can be left on charge indefinitely. The batteries will not be overcharged.
Allowing the batteries to deep discharge will damage them. If a deep charge occurres charge
the battery as soon as possible for 24 hours. Always take every opportunity to charge them,
this will considerably extend their lifetime.

17.1. Motor brakes
Always make sure the motor disengaging lever is in the ON position (motor brakes activated)
when helping the user to get into or out of the wheelchair or when leaving the user
unattended. For more information about the motor disengaging lever consult sector 15.
17.2. Lifting & general safety
!
Never try to lift the wheelchair when the user is sitting in it.
!
For your own safety never lift the empty wheelchair by yourself. Because of the weight
and size of the wheelchair two people must lift it. It helps if you remove the footrests,
backrest/headrest and batteries before lifting.
