SECTION 11—BATTERIES
Power Tiger™ 76 Part No 1134839
Removing/Installing Batteries From/Into Battery Boxes
ƽ WARNING
ALWAYS use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It is the most convenient
method and assures that the battery acid will not spill. It also helps to prolong the
life of the battery.
DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on
the use of deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as
the power source for this unit.
CAUTION
Place the wheelchair in a well ventilated area where work can be performed
without risking damage to carpeting or floor covering.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.4 on page 77.
NOTE: To install the battery(ies) into the battery box(es), reverse the following steps.
NOTE: Have the following tools available:
• Battery Lifting Strap
• 1/2-inch (6 pt) Box Wrench
NOTE: If there is battery acid in the bottom or on the sides of the battery boxes or batteries, apply
baking soda to these areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the new or existing
batteries, clean the baking soda from the battery boxes or batteries.
NOTE: When securing battery lifting strap to battery, observe polarity markings located on the
ends of the battery lifting strap, (+) side to POSITIVE (+) battery post and (-) side to NEGATIVE
(-) battery post.
1. Remove the battery box(es) from the wheelchair. Refer to Removing/Installing the
Battery Boxes on page 73.
2. Disconnect battery cables. Refer to Disconnecting/Connecting Battery Cables
on
page 74 for 22NF batteries.
3. Secure battery lifting strap to battery terminal(s)/post(s).
ƽ WARNING
Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges
directly into the battery case. Batteries which interfere with the battery box cannot
be used for these applications. Attempting to “wedge” a battery into a battery box
may damage the box, the battery and/or be a fire hazard, resulting in serious injury
or further damage to property.
4. Remove batteries from battery box(es).
