DANGER!
Risk of Death, Serious Injury, or Damage
Even though this power wheelchair has
been tested and meets the requirements for
ingress of liquids, ALWAYS keep electrical
connections away from sources of dampness,
this includes direct exposure to water, bodily
fluids, and incontinence. Electrical components
damaged by corrosion MUST be replaced
immediately. Wheelchairs that are used by
incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed
to water/liquids may require replacement of
electrical components more frequently.

DANGER!
Risk of Death or Serious Injury
Electric shock can cause death or serious injury
– DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the round grounding prong (i.e charger AC cable
plug or the extension cord plug) from any plug used
with or for Invacare products. Some devices are
equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for
protection against possible shock hazards. Where
a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to contact a qualified electrician and have
the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. If you must use
an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension
cord having the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. In addition, Invacare
has placed RED/ORANGE warning tags on some
equipment. DO NOT remove these tags.

2.1.12 Electrical - Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual
are based on the use of deep cycle gel sealed 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.
