12 Maintenance Ibis PowerDrive
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.

properly, it essential that the tyres are kept at
the correct pressure. The correct pressure is
indicated on the side of the tyre.

wear on the tyres when driving with soft tyres is
unnecessarily high.
