WARNING
Make sure power to the wheelchair is OFF before performing this procedure.
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles or face shields is recommended
when working with batteries.
Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement
ALWAYS be done by a qualified technician.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 13.4 on page 60.
NOTE: For changing or removing/installing the battery boxes, refer to Installing/Removing the
