Batteries and charging
WARNING
Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.
Do not stand the charger on a carpet or
other soft surface. Always place it on a
hard surface.
Do not operate the charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way, take it to
a qualified technician.
Do not disassemble charger; only have it
repaired by the manufacturers. Incorrect
re-assembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire. To reduce the risk of an
electric shock, unplug the charger from
the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the controls will not reduce the
risk.
Never place the charger directly above
the battery being charged; gases from the
battery will corrode and damage the
charger.
Never Smoke or allow a spark or flame in
the vicinity of the battery or charger. Be
extra cautious to reduce the risk of
dropping a metal tool on to the battery. It
could spark or short circuit the battery or
other electrical parts, that may cause an
explosion. Also take off all personal metal
effects and dangling objects when working
on the battery.
Never charge a frozen battery. A fully
charged battery will rarely freeze but the
electrolyte of a discharged battery can
freeze at 16°Fahrenheit (-9° Centigrade),
any battery that is suspected of being
frozen should be thawed completely before
charging.
Note: When buying replacement
batteries always consult your
Sunrise Medical service agent.
Note: Before using your vehicle for
the very first time, please charge the
batteries for a period of 24 hours.
