Maintaining the batteries
Note!
Ensure that the batteries are always fully
charged. Not using the batteries for an
extended period of time can damage them.
Do not use the wheelchair if the batteries
are almost depleted and never completely
deplete the batteries. This can seriously
damage the batteries and you may run the
risk of coming to an unintended standstill.
Replacing the batteries
If the capacity of the batteries is continually
decreasing so that the wheelchair can only be
used for short trips, then this means that the
batteries are reaching the end of their lifespan.
The batteries will then need to be replaced.
Please contact your dealer for assistance.
Warning!
Batteries contain acids. Damaged batteries
are a serious health hazard. Follow the
instructions on the batteries at all times.

properly, it essential that the tyres are kept at
the correct pressure. The correct pressure is
indicated on the side of the tyre.

Tyres that are too soft will have a negative
eff ect on the wheelchair's performance. Moving
the wheelchair will require more energy, making
more demands on the batteries. Furthermore,
wear on the tyres when driving with soft tyres is
unnecessarily high.
Note!
Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure
