Invacare Orion Series User Manual page 55

• Even not being used, batteries discharge themselves.
Best practice is to disconnect the battery supply from
the power module if storing the mobility device longer
than two weeks. Depending on the mobility device
model, you can either remove the battery packs or
disconnect the batteries from the power module. Refer
to the corresponding chapter about disconnecting the
batteries. If in doubt which cable to disconnect, contact
your provider.
• Batteries should always be fully charged before storing.
• If storing the mobility device longer than four weeks,
check the batteries once a month and recharge as
needed (before gauge reads half full) to avoid damage.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment protected
from outer influences.
• Slightly overinflate pneumatic tyres.
• Position the mobility device on flooring that is not
discoloured by contact with tyre rubber.
Preparing Mobility Device for Use
• Re-connect the battery supply to the power module.
• The batteries must be charged before use.
• Have the mobility device checked by an authorised
Invacare provider.
