Safety warnings and user tips
WARNING
Batteries
Your wheelchair is supplied as standard
from Sunrise Medical with maintenance-
free batteries. These only require regular
charging.
Do not, under any circumstances,
tamper with the batteries. If in any doubt
contact your local service agent.
Do not connect the battery charger
to the mains supply until after you
have connected the charger to the
wheelchair. Before charging, please
read the relevant section in this manual.
Take care with battery acid which is
very dangerous. It can cause burns to
the skin as well as damage to floors,
furniture and your wheelchair. If it comes
into contact with the skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If it comes into contact with the eye,
immediately flood the eye with running
cold water for at least 10 minutes and
seek medical attention immediately.
Acid can be neutralised with baking
soda and water. Take care to keep
batteries upright at all times, especially
when transporting your wheelchair.
NOTE: Before using your vehicle
for the very first time, please charge
your batteries for a period of 24 hours.
