Charging The Batteries - Handicare Hippo Bedienungsanleitung

Sometimes you may want to fold down the controller, for example if you are going to
take place at a table with your wheelchair. To do this, press the handle (see Figure 20)
and push down the controller.
The controller is returned to the driving position by moving it up until it is locked.

Attention!
Make sure the table is high enough to sit at with your wheelchair: if the
table is too low, or if it has a broad edge, the controller may be
damaged even in the lower position.

Charging the batteries

Your wheelchair is provided with a charging point at the front of the controller. It is
easily accessed even while you are sitting in your wheelchair.
If you are going to use your wheelchair on a daily basis, it is recommended to charge
the batteries every night.
To charge the batteries, proceed as follows:

Switch off your wheelchair.

Put the charging plug into the charging point, see Figure 21 BOVEN.

Switch on the charger (refer to the user manual that goes with your battery charger).

When the charging cycle is completed (refer to the user manual that goes with your
battery charger), switch off the charger and take the charging plug from the charging
point.
Always complete a full charging cycle. Should you charge for only an hour each time,
this would greatly affect the useful life and performance of the (dry) batteries.
It is not possible to drive with your wheelchair while the charging plug is switched on.
