Safety instructions

WARNING Risk of injuries and damage due to fire

  • Only use the battery/batteries and charger supplied with your product. The use of any other battery or charger may be dangerous (fire hazard). Contact your specialist dealer for possible replacement.
  • Under no circumstances open or change the battery, charger, cables, plugs nor change any connection points yourself!
  • The charger is only intended to charge the battery/batteries delivered with the wheelchair, not to charge any other batteries.
  • Protect the battery and battery charger against flames, high temperatures (>50°C), moisture, sunshine, severe shocks (for example dropping). Do NOT use the battery if this has been the case.
  • Charge the battery with the supplied charger, indoors, in a well-ventilated area, out of children’s reach.
  • Do not use any extension cord for charging.

CAUTION Risk of injuries
The batteries will last shorter or longer depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions. When you plan a trip, take the battery-charge status in to account. Be aware of the action radius of the battery, see the technical details in the instruction manual.

CAUTION: Risk of battery damage and/or reduction of battery life span

  • Read the charger instruction manual and observe the safety guidelines regarding the charger.

  • Do not interrupt the charging cycle; wait until the charger indicates that the battery is fully charged, see the charger instruction manual. Prevent charging in short periods.
    Note: this is NOT applicable for Lithium batteries.

  • The battery may be irreversibly damaged if the battery is fully discharged. Therefore, make sure that the battery is charged on time: o With intensive use (long distances, daily use): Immediately recharge after use. Do not interrupt the charging cycle. o With average use (short distances, daily or a few times a week): Charge when battery indicator shows 50% discharge. Do not interrupt the charging cycle. o With little use or storage: Charge once a week. Do not interrupt the charging cycle.

  • The lifespan reduces if the battery is exposed to extreme cold for a longer period of time, see the technical details in the instruction manual.

  • Make sure that all connection points on the battery and the connection point in the battery housing are free of dust and other contamination.

  • Protect your battery from large sources of electromagnetic radiation.
