Charging the batteries
Read carefully through the instructions for using the battery charger before
beginning to charge the batteries.
1. Make sure that the wheelchair is turned off before beginning to charge the bat-
teries. Then connect the mains cable of the battery charger to a suitable mains
outlet.
2. Wait for the (red) Error lamp on the charger to show a steady light.
3. Connect the charging plug to the charging socket on the wheelchair.
The Error lamp will go out and both the Charging and the Completed lamps will
light up for about a second while the charger checks the battery. Then the
Charging lamp will light up if charging is necessary.
4. When the Completed lamp lights up, the battery is fully charged and the
charger will automatically switch over to maintenance charging. Consumption of
electricity during maintenance charging is very low, which means that the charger
can be left connected to the wheelchair until you need to use it again. The charger
cannot overload the batteries.
5. Before running the wheelchair, take the charging plug out of the charging
socket on the wheelchair. The Completed lamp will then go out and the Error
lamp will light up. If required, the charger can be disconnected by pulling out the
mains plug.
6. If you wish to interrupt charging up (before the Completed lamp lights up) you
should disconnect the mains connection before taking out the charging plug from
the socket on the wheelchair, in order to avoid causing sparks and unnecessary
wear on the charger socket.
