must always be switched off and the mains plug removed
before disconnecting the battery.
NOTICE

dependently. Setting the characteristic curve incorrectly
can result in permanent damage to the battery.
The battery charger is designed for AGM batteries (mainte-
nance-free batteries). The charger is programmed with the
matching characteristic curve for ideal charging of the re-
spective battery type. The matching characteristic curve is
set at the factory when the power wheelchair is shipped.
The characteristic curve has to be checked if the battery
charger is to be used with another power wheelchair or if
new batteries are installed.
