SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
12
Spray or wipe disinfection using a tested and recognized product is permitted. A list of
the current permitted disinfectants is available from the Robert Koch Institute at http://
www.rki.de/GESUND/DESINF/DESINFLI.htm.
Accessories
Extreme care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits
and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the use
of oxygen.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with
Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested
by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
Batteries
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their
use as the power source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or
operating your wheelchair.
Charging Batteries
DANGER
When using an extension cord, use one with the same or higher electrical rating as
the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire and electric shock.
NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery
terminals.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same time.
DO NOT operate wheelchair with extension cord attached to the AC cable.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to any
type of moisture.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside.
DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while charging the batteries.
DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries using both the on-board battery charger and an
independent battery charger (plugged into the joystick charger port) at the same time.
Doing so will reduce the life of the batteries.
Read and carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each charger (supplied or
purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified technician for
proper procedures.
