WARNING!
Use only the charger supplied with your wheelchair or recommended by
Permobil. Using other chargers may damage the batteries, the wheelchair
electronics or the charger itself. It may also result in parts becoming
overheated, which may entail a greater risk of fire.
Be careful when using metal objects when working with batteries. A short-
circuit can easily cause an explosion. Always use safety gloves and safety
goggles.
You may only use a charger with a maximum charging current of 10 A
(average) (the effective value of the charging current must not exceed 12
A). The batteries must be charged in a well-ventilated room, not in a
wardrobe. The batteries must not be charged in a bathroom or wetroom.
L
WARNING!
If you want to interrupt the charging process, the mains voltage should be
switched off before the charging contact is disconnected from the
wheelchair's charging socket. This is to avoid sparking and unnecessarily
high wear on the charging contact.
The charger may get hot and must not be covered. The charger must be
placed so that it has free space on all sides.
The charging contact must be replaced if it is damaged or gets hot during
charging. Both the contact on the charger's cable and the wheelchair's
charging socket should be replaced if one part is damaged or worn. The
contacts must be replaced by qualified personnel.
