The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if the following occurs: ! When coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward excessively.
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. 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 Can I use a different battery charger? You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your Quantum Rehab Specialist for assistance.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).
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 Quantum Rehab Specialist 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 THE MICRODRIVE 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 also enables you to monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The Microdrive electronic control system is a modular system.
VII. OPERATION Display Pad The display pad is located directly in front of the joystick. It contains the horn key, battery condition meter, profile and speed indicator, and the actuator indicator. See figure 27. Horn Key The horn key activates the horn. Battery Condition Meter The battery condition meter is a 10-segment illuminated display that indicates that the Microdrive is powered on and also gives the status of the batteries, the controller, and the power chair electrical system.
VII. OPERATION NOTE: When a toggle switch is set to “J/S,” the joystick has control of a particular function. When the toggle switch is set to “Local,” control of this function is disabled at the joystick. External Switch Jacks The external switch jacks are used for an external control (e.g. buddy button, single switch, etc.). There are two external jacks on the joystick interface module: mode and power. The switches can work in conjunction with or in replacement of switches on the joystick.
VII. OPERATION Speed Adjustment The Microdrive controller provides a speed control knob to control the speed of the power chair. To change the speed: 1. Use the on/off switch to power on the chair and the controller. 2. To increase your speed, turn the speed control knob clockwise. 3. To decrease your speed, turn the speed control knob counterclockwise.
VII. OPERATION REMOTE PLUS 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 Remote Plus is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module. Typically, the Remote Plus is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 29.
VII. OPERATION Mode Key (Speed Settings) The mode key controls the speed settings. The Remote Plus speed settings range from 1 to 5. Typically, the slowest speed setting is 1 and the fastest speed setting is 5. The settings are indicated by the number of lights that are lit on the speed setting indicator. NOTE: The speed settings are preset at the factory. If your Quantum Rehab Specialist changes the order of these settings, please make note of these changes.
VII. OPERATION NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state, the first red light will begin to slowly flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!
