Removing/Refitting
Disconnect both the connecting lead
plugs (Fig. 56), pull up the straps on either
side of the rear battery and lift it out. Pull
the front battery to the rear of the tray and
repeat the process.
WARNING
To refit reverse the process, ensuring
that the straps are folded into the
battery tray. You must ensure that the
tray is securely locked into place and
cannot slide back prior to use. Failure
to lock the battery box correctly could
cause your wheelchair to be unstable.
Safety cut-outs
In the event of a short circuit, there are
safety systems built into your wheelchair
to safeguard your electrical circuits. Fusible
links are connected on to the battery
terminal posts (Fig. 57), should your chair
suffer a short circuit these links will break
the circuit. To replace them contact your
local Sunrise Medical service dealer, who
will also diagnose the fault.
