I V. ASSEMBLY INITIAL ASSEMBLY Your power chair may require some assembly either before initial use or after transportation. It may also require disassembly to make some comfort adjustments. Figure 10 details those parts of the power chair that are designed to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by a qualified caregiver before using the product or making comfort adjustments.
I V. ASSEMBLY Seat Installation It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Contour seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base.
I V. ASSEMBLY Power Seat Option Installation Your power chair may be equipped with the power seat option. While the seat itself may be any one of the styles offered for this model, the way the seat base attaches to the power base is different. To install the power seat: l. Place the seat plate interface bracket onto the actuator. Seefigure 14. 2. Insert screws into the actuator and insert and tighten the hardware. 3. Place seating system onto the seat plate and secure. Figure 13.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest width, armrest angle and height, foot platform height, depth, and angle, and controller position. NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or Synergy TRU-Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS 10. Reinstall the retaining clips. 11. Reinstall the seat. 12. Reconnect the controller to the power base. 13. Reinstall the rear shroud and tighten the fasteners.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your 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 the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See III. “Your Power Chair.” 3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/programming socket on the controller. 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING ! 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. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use. ! Infrequent Use If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Quantum 6000Z Series is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Specialist. 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.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery boxes and battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.
VII. 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. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
