Electrical Components
The electrical components are located on the battery compartment door at back of the power base. See figure 5.
Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Vibe. 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 trips, allow your Vibe to rest for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker
button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly,
contact your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
Controller Connector:
This is where the controller connects to the power base. The VSI controller uses a large 9-pin
connector. The Remote Plus and the Europa use smaller, multi-pin communications cable connectors.
Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your Vibe is equipped with two manual freewheel levers. See figures 6 and 7. These levers allow
you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your Vibe while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Vibe is on an incline.
The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your Vibe is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
To operate the manual freewheel levers:
1. Pull the manual freewheel lever inward for freewheel mode (drive disengaged). See figure 6.
2. Push the manual freewheel lever outward for drive mode (drive engaged). See figure 7.
NOTE: If the lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Vibe back and forth slightly. The lever
should then move to the desired position.
