4. Battery pack
4.1 Safety instructions on charging the battery pack
The battery packs [12] always remain in the wheel hubs of the e-motion wheels and should be removed only in case of air transport or
for service situations. The charge process takes place only directly on the wheels which do not have to be removed from the wheelchair
for this purpose. Principally, both battery packs should always be recharged at the same time; the charger is therefore equipped with two
charger cables.
Read and follow all instructions and warning information included with the charger before starting with the charging process and pay
attention to the following warning notes. Failure to do so may damage the unit or cause personal injury.
Wheelchair
Switch off both wheels before beginning with the charge process and secure the wheelchair with its parking brakes against rolling away
unintentionally.
Battery charger
Only use the supplied Alber charger to charge the e-motion battery pack. This switches off automatically as soon as the battery pack is
•
charged up. For this reason, overloading is not possible.
Do not charge any other battery packs with the charger except those delivered.
•
When the e-motion wheels are not used for some time (more than 1 day), the charger must first be disconnected from the line supply •
socket and then from the battery pack.
Never use a charger not supplied by Alber.
•
Never subject the charger to humidity (water, rain water, snow) during the charge process. •
Caution with condensation. If the charging device is brought from a cold room into a warm room, condensation can form. Wait using •
the charger in this case until the condensate has evaporated. This may take several hours.
Never carry out the charging process in rooms where humidity may settle on the charger.
•
Never carry the charger on the power cable or the charger cables. •
Never pull on the power cable to remove the charger from the socket. •
Route the power cable and the attached two charger cables to prevent persons from stepping on them or tripping over them and to •
keep them from being exposed to damaging impacts or stresses.
Do not operate the charger if the power cable, one or both charger cables or the plugs attached to them are damaged. Damaged parts
•
must be replaced without delay by the specialist dealership authorized by Alber.
Never use or dismantle the charger if it has incurred a hard blow, was dropped or damaged otherwise. Bring the damaged charger for
•
repair to a specialist dealer authorized by Alber.
The charger is not to be used by small children.
•
The charger may only be operated at 100 V - 240 V AC. •
Do not disassemble or modify the charger. •
Do not cover the charger during the charging process and do not place any objects on top of the device. •
Place the charger securely in a vertical position on a level surface. •
Do not expose the cable and the plug to any pressure. Excessive stretching or bending the cable, pinching the cable between a wall •
and a window frame or placing heavy objects on the cable or the plug may cause electrical shock or fire.
Never shorten the two poles with metallic objects.
•
Make sure that the plug is firmly plugged into the socket. •
Do not touch the plug with wet hands. •
Do not use the plug of the charger and/or the plug of the power cable if they are wet or soiled. Clean them with a dry cloth before •
plugging them into the socket.
After the charge procedure is completed, first pull the plug of the charger from the socket and then the charger plug from the e motion
•
wheels.
Do not plug the charger plug into the charge socket while the battery has been removed.
