Seat and Power Base Components
The seating system and the power base consist of the following components. See figures 5, 6, 7, and 8.
n
Controller:
This device is used to move the power chair.
n
Joystick/Controller Harness Connector:
This is where the joystick harness connects to the electronics tray.
n
Armrests:
These provide a comfortable place to rest your arms during time spent on your power chair.
n
Manual Freewheel Levers:
These levers enable you to disengage or engage the motors from or to the gearbox.
While the motors are disengaged, your power chair can be pushed manually.
n
Body Shroud:
These are the plastic pieces that cover the power base.
n
Swing-away Leg Rests:
This is where your feet rest during time spent on your power chair.
n
Anti-Tip Wheels:
These are wheels that allow slight or no tip while driving. They also allow for 5 cm obstacle-
climbing abilities.
n
Drive Wheels:
These are the main wheels that move the power chair.
n
Rear Caster Wheels:
These are the trailing wheels that provide stability.
n
Ammetre:
This displays the chargers current output in amps.
n
Main Circuit Breaker:
This 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 trips, allow the power chair to rest for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit
breaker button, turn on the joystick/controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to
trip repeatedly, contact your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
n
Battery Charger AC Power Receptacle:
This is where the battery charger lead plugs in when the batteries need to
be recharged.
n
Battery Connectors (Quick-Connectors):
These provide connection between the battery boxes and the electronics
tray.
n
Motor Connectors:
These provide connection between the motors and the electronics tray.
n
Battery Boxes (Front and Rear):
These protect the batteries.
n
Seat Mount Connectors:
These provide connection with the seat posts.
