Replacing Batteries; Disconnecting Batteries For Air Transport - Sunrise Medical Quickie Q700 F Instructions For Use Manual

6.5 Replacing batteries

The wheelchair uses two 12V non-spillable 'dry' gel batteries
in series, these batteries are fully sealed and require no
maintenance. Spill-proof sealed batteries, such as "gelled
electrolyte," should be installed on powered wheelchairs when
used in a motor vehicle.
Replacing and servicing batteries is to be done by qualified
specialist.
In case of malfunctioning batteries, contact your local dealer.
DANGER!
• Do not attempt to replace or service batteries without the
supervision of trained and qualified personnel.

6.6 Disconnecting batteries for air transport.

The batteries are contained within the drive unit located under the
battery shroud.
To disconnect the batteries:
• Release the two handle screws under the front of the seat frame,
that connect the seat frame with the seat module interface,
(Fig.6.2).
• Flip the seat frame backwards (Fig.6.3).
• Ensure the seat is secured with the seat stay in place, before
letting go, (Fig.6.4.1 - A). You must make sure that the red seat
stay is fully latched onto the pin.
• Lift off the battery box lid, (Fig. 6.4.1 - B).
• Disconnect the 2 pin Anderson connectors from each battery
(Fig.6.5).
To reconnect the batteries reverse the above procedure.
WARNING:
Removing the batteries can lead to a change of the center point of
gravity. The result may be that the chair flips backwards without
the weight of the batteries. Sunrise advises to:
• Putting an obstacle behind the chair to secure the situation.
This can be a chest, or a chair, or etc.
• Try to lift the battery slightly first to check the effect of taking
out the weight.
