BATTERY CHARGE SYSTEM
5-1 BATTERY
A Sealed Lead Battery is used in STAIR CHAIR. It is a maintenance-free and non water requiring Battery.
Whenever Battery is handled, be sure to follow the cautions shown below.
NOTE:
Immediately after Battery is used, Battery must be charged using special Battery Charger. If
insufficient battery charge is left, less power for following operations will result in difficulty of
operation. Or if Battery is left depleted for a long period of time, it may be damaged.
5-2 CHARGER
A special Battery Charger is used for STAIR
CHAIR.
Battery is automatically charged depending on
battery discharge rate at a given time.
This Battery Charger is not equipped with a timer
function. When battery reaches its fully charged
level (Charger's Green LED will illuminate),
Battery will continue to be charged with trickle
current (0.1 to 0.2A).
Be sure to disconnect Charger's Plug from
Battery Pack after Green LED illuminates.
(Charging Battery completely will take 8 hours.)
•
Use special Battery Charger for charging Battery.
•
Always check Battery’s condition. If any crack or
deformation or water leakage is observed, replace with a
new one.
•
Clean and wipe Battery with a cool or warm water
moistened cloth. Never wipe with gasoline, thinner,
organic solvent or oil moistened cloth.
•
If the electrolytic liquid from a damaged Battery contacts
skin or clothes, rinse the area with plenty of water
immediately. If the electrolytic liquid invades the operator’s
eye, rinse it with clean water immediately and consult an
ophthalmologist.
CAUTION
•
Battery is a sealed type. Never remove its cover. If the
cover is removed, Battery will become unusable.

•
If Battery is not to be used for a long period of time,
remove it from the machine and charge it completely.
