If not, check that:
• The battery charger cables are properly connected.
• The fuse is working.
• The electric wheelchair is switched off.
• If all these points have been performed correctly, contact your retailer.
NOTE:
The time needed for complete charging may vary depending on the initial charge when
the charging procedure is started. Charging for longer than necessary does not damage the
batteries, as they cannot be overcharged.
Keep these rules in mind:
• Charge the batteries completely at least once every twenty days or more often if you use
the wheelchair regularly. Always charge the batteries after a trip of over 3 Km and as
regularly as possible, in order to guarantee the best performance and functioning time of
the batteries.
• Avoid leaving the batteries inactive for a period exceeding twenty days.
• The batteries and the electric wheelchair will function best after the electric wheelchair
has been used and the batteries have been charged more than 10 times. The complete
charging time of the batteries may be up to a maximum of ten hours.
• If the battery charger light does not turn green after this time, contact your usual retailer
for a check on the battery charger. The battery charger may become slightly warm during
use and it has an internal ventilation system. Do not obstruct the ventilation grids.
For safety, follow these guidelines:
1. Do not use the battery charger if the primary power cable is damaged.
2. Do not use extension cables for the primary power supply of the battery charger. There is
a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY
If you need to replace the batteries, contact your retailer to obtain the correct replacement
batteries. Take care when replacing the batteries and do not discard depleted or damaged
batteries in the environment.
Note:
Dispose of the replaced batteries at authorised recycling centres and not in normal
urban waste.
• To replace the batteries, disconnect the
cable connecting the motor to the battery,
positioned in the rear part.
