D. BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. To prevent an acid spill, always keep batteries upright (wet cell
batteries).
2. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries.
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you
handle batteries.
1. Maintenance Schedule:
This varies for different types of batteries. Always
follow the instructions supplied with your batteries.
Q-NOTE- Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses
when you handle or service batteries.
2. Adding Water: (Wet Cells Only)
• Wet-type lead acid batteries need periodic replacement of water
due to evaporation.
Q-NOTE- Use distilled water only.
Check the battery fluid level about once a week. When you
remove the stoppers (on top of the battery) there should be one-
eighth to one-quarter of an inch of fluid above the internal plates.
Do not overfill.
3. Corrosion:
Check battery terminals often for corrosion.
a. If corrosion is present, use a wire brush to clean the terminals.
Q-NOTE- Always wear safety glasses and rubber gloves.
b. Use baking soda to neutralize acid.
c. Use petroleum jelly to re-grease the terminals after connecting
cable to battery. (Completely cover the terminal nut and bolt,
cable clip and any exposed cable with jelly).
4. For Answers To Questions: Contact your supplier.
E. PNEUMATIC TIRES
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-
inflated.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side
and result in loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps
provide air at high volume, and may cause tire to burst.
1. Check for signs of wear and correct air pressure in pneumatic
tires weekly.
2. For best performance, inflate tires to the same pressure level,
as shown on the tire sidewall: 14" pneumatic drive wheels 35 to
45 psi (240 to 310 kpa)
3. CAUTION- To prevent tire damage:
Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate tires.
Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
F. TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A TIRE
Residual air pressure in tires can cause severe injury. Make sure
you release all air in tire before attempting to service or repair
tires.
