LOW BATTERY LEVELS
When the battery warning light flashes and you hear the "pip-pip-pip-pip",
change the battery promptly. If you continue to use the power assist function
and the battery is completely discharged, the battery warning light will be con-
stantly illuminated and you will hear a "beep" tone. The power assist function
will switch off. It is very dangerous to get into a situation where you are unable
to continue to move. You must change to a replacement battery as follows.
• First get your wheelchair to a safe place. Turn the power supply off and switch
to the replacement battery. If you have no replacement battery with you, leave
the power supply turned off while driving.
• If you cannot change the battery on your own, an attendant must be present.
If the battery warning light suddenly comes on and the power drive sounds the
"beep" tone and stops, there may be a malfunction. Do not continue to use the
power drive. Read the "Troubleshooting" section of this manual and contact your
nearest dealer. (When the battery is empty, the warning light flashes first, and you
can hear a "pip-pip-pip-pip" tone, before the power drive stops. In this instance
the system is working normally).
Do not lift the wheelchair by its handrims, the battery or the cable. This could
cause damage, especially if the wheelchair and its passenger are lifted togeth-
er, there is a risk of tipping over or falling out. Please observe the following:
• Put the brakes firmly on both wheels so that they cannot turn.
• Switch off the power supply.
• Lift the wheelchair only by the frame.
The battery on the Quickie Xtender is not very large but stores a large
amount of charge. Improper use can cause damage or in certain circum-
stances lead to burns or fire.
• When charging always use the charger supplied.
• When the battery is not in use, always fit the protective cap.
• Do not allow battery connection clamps to come into contact with wires or
other metals.
• Do not expose the battery to any impact; do not remove parts of the battery or
add others.
• Only use battery for the intended purpose.
• Do not expose the battery to heat or place in fire or water.
• Use the fuse provided.
• Do not use the battery if the housing shows signs of damage.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children and third parties.
• If the battery housing is damaged, a corrosive liquid (KOH) can be emitted.
Avoid any contact with the skin.
