It also helps to prolong the life of the battery. DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position. The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit. CAUTION Place the wheelchair in a well ventilated area where work can be performed without risking damage to carpeting or floor covering. NOTE: If there is battery acid in the bottom or on the sides of the battery boxes or batteries, apply baking soda to these areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the new or existing batteries, clean the baking soda from the battery boxes or batteries. NOTE: When securing battery lifting strap to battery, observe polarity markings located on the ends of the battery lifting strap, (+) side to POSITIVE (+) battery post and (-) side to NEGATIVE (-) battery post. 1.
