terminal(s)/post(s).
The NEGATIVE (-) BLACK battery cable MUST connect to the NEGATIVE (-)

damage may occur.
Install protective caps on positive and negative battery terminals.
Replace cable(s) immediately if cable(s) insulation becomes damaged.

WARNING
Make sure power to the wheelchair is OFF before performing this section.
The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries.
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.
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.
