Battery Warranty; Replacing Batteries; Disconnecting Batteries For Air Transport - Sunrise Medical Quickie Q700 M General Manual

6.4 Battery warranty

Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are subject to
a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely wear out
your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible to obtain a
replacement under warranty.

6.5 Replacing batteries

The wheelchair uses two 12V non-spillable 'dry' gel batteries
in series, these batteries are fully sealed and require no
maintenance.
Replacing and servicing batteries is to be done by qualified
specialist.
In case of malfunctioning batteries, contact your local authorized
dealer.
DANGER!
• Do not attempt to replace or service batteries without the
supervision of trained and qualified personnel.

6.6 Disconnecting batteries for air transport

The batteries are contained within the drive unit located
under the battery shroud.
To disconnect the batteries:
• Release the two handle screws under the front of the seat frame,
that connect the seat frame with the seat module interface
(Fig.6.2).
• Flip the seat frame backwards (Fig 6.3) until the seat frame is in
the fully opened position.
• Lift off the battery box lid (B), (Fig. 6.4).
• Disconnect the 2 pin Anderson connectors from each battery
(Fig.6.5).
To reconnect the batteries reverse the above procedure.
WARNING:
Removing the batteries can lead to a change of the center point
of gravity. The result may be that the chair flips backwards
without the weight of the batteries. Sunrise advises to:
• Putting an obstacle behind the chair to secure the situation.
This can be a chest, or a chair, or etc.
• Try to lift the battery slightly first to check the effect of
taking out the weight.
• Only remove the batteries while the chair is on the ground.
• Do not remove the batteries while the chair is on a lift table
or on any other elevated surface.
