6 Maintenance of the

wheelchair

The wheelchair’s lifespan is dependent on it

being well maintained.

For information concerning speciﬁ c settings,

maintenance or repair work, please contact

your dealer. Always be sure to mention the

model, year of manufacture and identiﬁ cation

number provided on the identiﬁ cation plate of

the wheelchair when contacting your dealer.

Note!

The wheelchair should be serviced by your

dealer once a year or, in the case of intensive

use, every six months.

6.2 Batteries

The wheelchair uses two 12V ‘dry’ gel batteries

in series. These batteries are fully sealed and

require no maintenance.

Note!

Do not use ‘wet’ batteries.

Take into account the fact that the wheelchair’s

range is reduced at low temperatures. During a

period of light frost, the capacity is roughly 75%

of the normal capacity. At temperatures below

-5˚C this will be roughly 50%.

Charging the batteries ( Battery charger)

Consult the user manual for the battery charger

to determine whether it is suitable for the

batteries in use. See chapter 8.

• Switch off the wheelchair’s controller.

• Plug the battery charger’s charging plug into

the charging connector on the controller.

• Activate the battery charger. Consult the

user manual for the battery charger.

Charge the batteries if the wheelchair is not

being used for an extended period of time. The

batteries should be charged every night under

normal use. The battery charger’s display will

indicate when the batteries are fully charged.

Depending on how depleted the batteries are,

it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge the

batteries again.

Maintaining the batteries

Note!

Ensure that the batteries are always fully

charged. Not using the batteries for an

extended period of time can damage them.

Do not use the wheelchair if the batteries are

almost depleted and never completely deplete

the batteries. This can seriously damage the

batteries and you may run the risk of coming to

an unintended standstill.

Replacing the batteries

If the capacity of the batteries is continually

decreasing so that the wheelchair can only be

used for short trips, then this means that the

batteries are reaching the end of their lifespan.

The batteries will then need to be replaced.

Please contact your dealer for assistance.

Warning!

Batteries contain acids. Damaged batteries are

a serious health hazard. Follow the instructions

on the batteries at all times.
