EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric
circuits and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in
the use of oxygen.
Batteries
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their
use as the power source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or
operating your wheelchair.
The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries.
Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges directly into
the battery case. Batteries that 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.
Charging Batteries
Ꮨ DANGER
When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least
16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use
of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock haz-
ard to the user.
NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery
terminals.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same time.
DO NOT operate wheelchair with extension cord attached to the AC cable.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to any
type of moisture.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside.
DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while charging the batteries.
