Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two
manual freewheel levers - one for each motor/brake assembly.
See figures 3a and 3b. These levers allow you to disengage the
drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair
while the drive motors are disengaged un-
less you are in the presence of an atten-
dant! Do not disengage the drive motors
when your power chair is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing
injury!

The Power Base Assembly
The power base assembly consists of the right and left frame assemblies, the front and rear battery boxes, and the
electronics tray. See figures 2, 3, and 4.
Ammeter:
The ammeter displays the chargers current output in amps. See VIII. Batteries and Charging.
Onboard Charger AC Power Lead Receptacle:
This is where the AC power lead plugs into the onboard
charger. The AC power lead plugs into a standard wall outlet.
Charger Fuse(s):
The charger fuse protects the ammeter from overload during charging. The charger fuse is
located under the electronics tray. A spare fuse is included.
Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries
and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage
to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit breaker trips, allow your power chair to rest for approximately
one minute. Then push in the circuit breaker reset button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If
the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, contact your authorised Pride Dealer.
Controller Connector:
This is where the controller connects to the battery, the motors, and the motor brakes.
The VSI controller connector is shown.
Charger Inhibit Connector (VSI only):
The VSI controller is equipped with a charger inhibit. The charger
inhibit enables the onboard battery charger to disable the controller during charging. The charger inhibit connector
is coded with coloured dots. The dots are positioned so that you can align the flat side of the male connector with
the flat side of the female connector before making the connection.
CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the controller,
the onboard charger, and the connectors.
