Part No 1143190 53 TDX™ SP
SECTION 10—BATTERIES
ƽ WARNING
The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries.
Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement
always be done by a qualified technician.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
22NF batteries weigh 37 pounds each. Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your
legs) to avoid injury.
ALWAYS use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It is the most convenient
method and assures that the battery acid will not spill. It also helps to prolong the
life of the battery.
DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.
NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact BOTH battery
post(s) at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious personal injury
or damage may occur.
When tightening the clamps, always use a box wrench. Pliers will “round off” the
nuts. NEVER wiggle the battery terminal(s)/post(s) when tightening. The battery
may become damaged.
The POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable MUST connect to the POSITIVE (+) battery
terminal(s)/post(s), otherwise serious damage will occur to the electrical system.
Install protective caps on POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) battery terminals.
DO NOT remove fuse or mounting hardware from POSITIVE (+) RED battery
cable mounting screw.
Unless otherwise indicated, make sure power to the wheelchair is OFF before
performing these procedures.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
