Caring For Your Batteries
• Completely read and follow all warnings about the batteries
in this user instruction manual and any labels applied to the
product. Failure to do so could result in fire, explosion, injury
and/or death.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Use extreme care when
handling batteries. To prevent serious burn injury, use proper
protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses when
handling batteries.
• NEVER attempt to open a sealed battery.
• Battery posts contain lead. The battery contains corrosive
chemicals and gases. ALWAYS wash your hands after
handling any part of the battery.
• Batteries are heavy. Use proper lifting and handling practices
to prevent dropping, pinching or lifting-related injuries.
• ALWAYS make sure the protective terminal covers are installed
and all battery connections and screws are tight before using
your power wheelchair.
• Batteries emit explosive gas – DO NOT smoke or have open
flame around batteries. Operate your power wheelchair in
well-ventilated areas only.
