Maintenance and disposal
•
The rechargeable battery system is designed to be maintenance free.
• DO NOT
open the Accupak. Check the cables and connections regularly for any signs of damage.
• DO NOT
operate the system if there is any damage or if the unit gets too hot.
• MAKE SURE
that the Accupak is kept clean and dry at all times.
• DO NOT
submerge in water or expose to direct heat.
• NEVER
run anything over the cables e.g. a hoover, as this may damage them.
•
ALWAYS
store the chair in a dry and safe place which will protect the chair and the Accupak
battery. If you are storing for periods of more than 6 months then the Accupak battery must be
fully charged before being stored. The battery should be re-charged every 12 months when in
storage.

If your battery shows any signs of leakage
DO NOT
allow the fluid to come into contact with
your skin. If it does, clean the affected area and contact your doctor.

ONLY
clean the Accupak and battery transformer by wiping carefully with a slightly damp cloth.
Do not use solvents or chemical cleaning agents, to clean them.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT
the power source when doing any cleaning
.
•
All batteries must be disposed of immediately if they are damaged. Batteries should always be
disposed of in line with environmental regulations.
