Warnings for Handling and Replacing Batteries
ƽ WARNINGS
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all
attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
Make sure power to the wheelchair is off before performing this section.
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles or face shields is recommended
when working with batteries.
Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement
ALWAYS be done by a qualified technician.
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.
NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact BOTH battery
posts at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious personal injury or
damage may occur.
The POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable must connect to the POSITIVE (+) battery
terminal, otherwise serious damage will occur to the electrical system.
