REASSEMBLING THE WHEELCHAIR
To reassemble the wheelchair, simply repeat the disassembly steps in reverse order.
Replace the foot plate on the frame assembly and replace the wing-nuts and bolts.
WARNING never operate the unit without reattaching the front section and the bolts/
wing-nuts which holds the front section in place!
With the seat and rear cover off, install the batteries in place and connect the battery cables.
Align the red dots on each connector so that they line up. Push the plug straight in until the
connectors click together. Place the connectors between the batteries.
Replace the rear cover by running the control cable through the hole in the cover and setting the
cover securely on the frame. Make sure the velcro on the cover attaches to the velcro on the rear
frame support piece.
Place the seat assembly onto the four height adjustment posts and pin in place. Connect the control
cable to the controller.
Follow the entry instructions elsewhere in this manual, and go for a ride.
CHARGING THE POWER WHEELCHAIR BATTERIES
Charging the batteries is the most important part of operating and maintaining your new wheelchair. Be sure
you do it properly! As per international standards, it is recommended that only gel cell or sealed suspended
lead-acid type deep cycle batteries be used on the wheelchair. These batteries should meet FAA (Federal
Aviation Administration) guidelines and be marked as non-spillable or spill proof.
Your wheelchair comes with a fully automatic, 24 volt constant current off-board charger. Which provides a
constant charging output until the batteries are fully charged and can be left “on charge” indefi nitely without
harm to the batteries.
Please refer to the instructions packaged with your charger for additional information, including its
specifi c LED charging status indicators.
NOTE:
Some chargers have a small cooling fan located inside the charger which is thermostatically controlled
and may come on when the internal temperatures exceed the design limits. This may or may not operate at
regular intervals. Do not rely on its operation as an indication of charger output.
