5 WHEELCHAIR OPERATION 5.6 Charging Batteries ƽ ƽ DANGER Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electric shock. When using an extension cord, use an extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. WARNING NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery terminals or clamps. ALWAYS use the recharging plug located on the front of the joystick. DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while charging the batteries. DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the power wheelchair at the same time. During use and charging, unsealed batteries will vent hydrogen gas which is explosive in the right concentration with air. DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to ANY type of moisture. DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries using BOTH the on-board battery charger and an independent battery charger (plugged into the joystick charger port) at the SAME time. Doing so will reduce the life of the batteries. READ and CAREFULLY follow the manufacturer's instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified technician for proper procedures. Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size, and shape as those on the charger. DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug or the extension cord plug. CAUTION Always charge new batteries before initial use or battery life will be reduced. Part No 1143153 57 Invacare® Pronto® M91™
