2.8 Electrical
DANGER!
Risk of Death or Serious Injury
Electric shock can cause death or serious injury
– To avoid electric shock, inspect plug and cord
for cuts and/or frayed wires. Replace cut cords
or frayed wires immediately.
WARNING!
Power wheelchairs are equipped with three-prong
(grounding) plugs for protection against possible
shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified electrician and have the
two-prong replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with
the National Electrical code. If you must use an
extension cord, use only a three-wire extension
cord having the same or higher electrical rating
as the device being connected. DO NOT, under
any circumstances, cut or remove the round
grounding prong from any plug used with or
for Invacare products. In addition, Invacare has
placed RED warning tags on some equipment.
DO NOT remove these tags.
DANGER!
Risk of Death, Injury or Damage
Shock hazards and risk of fire exist due to use
of improper extension cord and/or use of three
prong adapters.
– To avoid injury or product damage, when using
an extension cord, use only a UL approved
three wire extension cord having at least 16
AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the
same or higher electrical rating as the device
being connected.
– DO NOT use three prong to two prong adapters.
2.9 Recycling Batteries
Fig. 2-14
Fig. 2-15
Lead acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable. Discarding
these batteries in the trash is considered “improper
disposal” and is illegal in most states. Old, used batteries
are “hazardous material” and MUST be recycled through
an approved agency. Contact your provider or Invacare on
proper disposal and recycling of your batteries.
