WARNING: Do not use battery chargers not supplied by Graham-Field Health Products.

Battery chargers not supplied by Graham-Field Health Products could dam-

age the controller and the battery charger. Electrical arcing could result,

which could cause severe personal injury, explosion, and ﬁre.

Charging the batteries

Note: Before charging the batteries, read the rest of this manual, especially the Battery Charger section.

Note: As a safety feature, the wheelchair is inoperable during charging.

1. Ensure that power to both wheelchair and battery charger is OFF.

2. Connect battery charger output connector to receptacle on bottom of hand control.

3. North America: Plug the battery charger AC connector into a properly grounded, 115 volt, 60 cycle

single phase power outlet.

Note: Ensure that the battery charger AC voltage switch is set on the appropriate voltage for your loca-

tion.

4. Place battery charger power switch in the ON position. e green status indicator LED will illu-

minate when battery charger power is switched on, then ﬂash a diﬀerent pattern for each charging

mode automatically selected by the battery charger:

Always oﬀ: No AC power

Always on (nonﬂashing): Batteries not connected

Flash 1/2 second on, 1/2 second oﬀ: Fast charge (normal

charge)

Flash 2 seconds on, 2 seconds oﬀ: Float charge (almost ﬁn-

ished)

Flash 4 times, 1 second on, 1 second oﬀ: Maintain charge

(charge complete)

Flash 2 times, 1 second oﬀ: Deep charge (batteries severely

discharged)

e battery capacity level indicator LEDs will illuminate one

at a time to show the state of battery charge: ≤30% (red),

50% (red), 70% (yellow), 85% (yellow), or 100% (yellow).

When the batteries are fully charged, the battery capacity level

indicator's 100% LED will illuminate and the status indicator will show maintain mode.

5. Allow adequate time to bring the batteries up to a full charge—the actual time required to recharge

the batteries will depend on discharge condition. e charger supplied with the wheelchair is auto-

matic, and will not damage the batteries if left connected after batteries are fully charged.

6. When batteries are fully charged, place battery charger power switch in the OFF position.

7. Remove battery charger output connector from hand control receptacle.

Note: If you experience a problem with your battery charger, please see Troubleshooting, battery charger
