CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your C.T.M. power chair is equipped with two, service free 12V 36Ah rechargeable
batteries and one 24V/3A on-board charger. Batteries must be charged before using
power chair for the first time and it is recommended to be charged up to 8 - 14 hours
after each day's use. Be sure power switch is in OFF position and free-wheeling
lever is in "D" position.
1.Insert charger cord into charger output at rear of power chair.
The time needed to recharge will vary depending on depletion of batteries.
Charging for longer than necessary will not harm batteries. They cannot
be overcharged.
2.Plug the other end of power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.
3.The purpose of ammeter is to indicate how much capacity is needed to fully charge
batteries. Once charger is warmed up, the ammeter needle may move up to three
amps, or as low as zero amps, as a sign in charging.
4.The ammeter needle will then vibrate on the zero once the batteries are fully charged.
5.Once batteries are fully charged, please unplug power cord from wall outlet and power
chair. The power cord should be stored in a safe and dry area until next use.
6.If charging your power chair for over 8 - 14 hours and it does not function, please check :
•fuse is not burned out
•power chair is turned off
•circuit breaker is pushed in
•if none of above is the problem, contact your authorized dealer.

:
•Fully charge batteries at least once a month; more if you use power chair regularly.

•If storing your power chair for some time (one month or more) make sure batteries
are fully charged, and on returning, charge them again before using power chair.
