SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT operate wheelchair with extension cord attached to the AC cable. DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to ANY type of moisture. DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside. DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while charging the batteries. 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. AFTER charging batteries, ALWAYS make sure that the battery charger cord is securely wrapped and stored within the hook and loop strap assembly on the rear of the battery tray. Failure to do so may result in damage to the cord or personal injury to the user or bystanders. 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. Grounding Instructions DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three‐prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards and fire. Where a two‐ prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three‐prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three‐wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Rain Test Invacare has tested its power wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 "Rain Test." This provides the end user or his/her assistant sufficient time to remove his/her power wheelchair from a rain storm and retain wheelchair operation. DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind. DO NOT use power wheelchair in a shower. DO NOT store power wheelchair in a damp area for an extended period of time.
