To gain access to the adjustment bolts, tilt the seat to the rear and lift the coloured
plastic moulding at the front. Remove the two sets of nuts and screws, slide to
adjust vertical square tube to the required height and refit both screw and nut to

Under the armrests there is a bolt and lock nut that can be
adjusted up or down to change the angle of the armrests.
To determine the same angle for the opposite armrest, count
the exposed threads on the adjustment bolt.
Located under each armrest at the rear is a hexagon key screw. By turning anti-
clockwise to release, the armrest can be adjusted and then reset in position by
re-tightening the screw.
Measuring the distance from the end of the armrest pad to the end of the armrest
support post will allow setting of both armrests at the same length.
Below the rear of the armrest on the down supporting tube there is a hexagon key
screw to allow for adjustment. To adjust the height loosen the screw, adjust arm
to the desired height then re-tighten the hexagon key screw. Repeat the procedure
for the other armrest.

The Powerchair is supplied with two sealed deep cycle, maintenance free
batteries. These are fitted under the seat in the centre of the Powerchair.
These batteries are different from ordinary car batteries and should be charged
with the charger specifically for this type and make of battery.
CAUTION!
-
Using incorrect battery size and/or voltage may cause damage to
the power chair and have an adverse effect on the performance
specifications.
To ensure long battery life, do not allow the batteries to become totally
discharged. If the Powerchair is not used for a length of time the batteries must
receive a full charge once a month and remain fully charged during storage.
"
The battery charger supplied with your Powerchair is fitted with an automatic
electronic switch that terminates the charge when the batteries are fully charged.
To avoid reducing battery life always fully charge new batteries before initial
use. Please note that the batteries will not perform to their peak until first six to
ten charging cycles have been completed.
The front panel of the battery charger has two lights - red and green. Steady red
light indicates that charger is on from the mains and is ready to charge. Flickering
red light signifies incorrect or bad connection. The other light is yellow/orange
when charging, which turns to green when charging is complete.
To re-charge the batteries, connect one end of the battery charger power cord to
the charging socket and the other end to a 3-pin grounded wall outlet and switch
on at the mains.
Do not switch off or interrupt the charging cycle before charging is complete
(typically from 8 to 12 hours depending on depth of discharge).
When charging is complete always disconnect from the main supply first
followed by unplugging the charger from the chair.
The charger also has its own ON/OFF switch located in the opposite end to the
two-way display lights. Ensure this is switched on to charge your batteries.
