VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your Pride Power Chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING To charge the batteries using the off-board charger: 1. Position your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off. 3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/ programming socket on the controller. See VII. “Operation.” 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet. NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. ! Daily Use If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain— then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.
VII. OPERATION FLIGHT CONTROLLER The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropriate system. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The FLIGHT is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module.
VII. OPERATION On/Off Key The on/off key turns the FLIGHT on and off. WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly. WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement. Battery Condition Meter The battery condition meter consists of ten lights arranged in an arc over the on/off key. As the battery voltage drops, the number of lights reduces from right to left.
VII. OPERATION Speed Keys There are two keys that control the speed. Press the hare key to increase the speed. Press the tortoise key to decrease the speed. The speed setting is displayed on the speed indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information. NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
VII. OPERATION VSI ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The VSI electronic controller is an integral electronic controller. All of the electronics necessary to operate the power chair are contained in one module. See figure 30.
VII. OPERATION On/Off Key The on/off key turns the VSI on and off. WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the power chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly. WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement. Battery Condition Meter The battery condition meter is a 10-segment illuminated display located in front of the joystick. It consists of red, yellow, and green lights.
VII. OPERATION Actuator Keys and Actuator Lights (For Optional Equipment) Actuator keys and actuator lights are used for optional equipment such as power elevating leg rests. For specific operation of the actuator keys and actuator lights, contact your authorized Pride Provider. Horn Key The horn key activates the horn. Locking/Unlocking the VSI The VSI has a feature that enables you to lock your power chair to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the VSI: 1.
VII. OPERATION WARNING! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the VSI, the charger, and the connectors. Thermal Rollback The VSI controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the controller, which roughly translates to motor temperature. In the event that the VSI controller becomes excessively hot (above 140° F), motor current (amperage) is reduced. For every degree above 131° F, the motor current limit is reduced by .55 amps.
VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Pride Power Chair is a sophisticated device. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your authorized Pride Provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation.
VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. ! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. Daily Checks ! With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it.
VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair.
