Notes on accumulators
L
L
The enclosed accumulators should never be opened. Opening the accumulators will cause irrepara-
ble damage to these components, possibly resulting in a complete loss of energy supply.

The accumulators should always be recharged using the supplied recharging device after every spell
of use (even if use of charge was minimal during the spell). Always connect the recharger when
the electric wheelchair is not in use. The recharger supplied switches automatically to "maintain
charge", thus guaranteeing you that your accumulators in your electric wheelchair will always be
ready for use and fully charged. If the accumulators are left in an uncharged state for too long they
will become deeply discharged and will no longer be capable of recharging and/or will need to be
replaced.

Observe the relevant regulations on waste disposal when disposing of the accumulators. Please
consult the local or municipal authorities responsible for this issue or talk directly to a waste disposal
company.
