Battery Charger Operation

WARNING

Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service, turn power

OFF and remove key from ignition.
NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact BOTH

battery terminal(s)/post(s) at the same time. An electrical short may occur

and serious personal injury or damage may occur.
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles and face shield is

recommended when working with batteries.
Always use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It is the most

convenient method and assures that the battery acid will not spill. It also

helps to prolong the life of the battery.
DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.
Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery

replacement always be done by a qualified technician.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all

attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may

result.

CAUTION

When connecting the battery cables to the battery(ies), the battery cable(s)

MUST be connected to the battery terminal(s)/post(s) as shown in FIGURE

2, otherwise damage to the battery may result.
For proper battery connection batteries MUST use post style terminals

with mounting holes through the terminal.

NOTE: If there is battery acid on the rear frame or on the sides of the batteries, apply baking soda

to these areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the NEW or existing battery(ies),

clean the baking soda from the battery tray or battery(ies).
