SECTION 12—BATTERIES
ƽ WARNING
Before performing any maintenance adjustment or service, turn power OFF and
remove key from ignition.
NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact BOTH battery
terminal(s)/post(s) at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious
personal injury or damage may occur.
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles and face shield is recommended
when working with batteries.
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.
Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement
always be done by a qualified technician.
All battery terminals caps (two [2] on the LEFT battery and two [2] on the RIGHT
battery) MUST be installed prior to use.
Do not remove fuse or mounting hardware from the POSITIVE (+) RED battery
cable/mounting screw.
On Zoom 400 only - Battery terminal configuration shown below MUST be used.
Batteries that have the reversed terminal configuration MUST NOT be used -
otherwise serious injury or damage may occur.
CAUTION
When connecting the battery cables to the batteries, the battery cables MUST be
connected to the battery terminals/posts as shown in FIGURE 12.2 for Zoom 300
and FIGURE 12.5 for Zoom 400 - otherwise damage to the battery may result.
For proper battery connection, batteries MUST use post style terminals with
mounting holes through the terminal.
