c. Turn 

on

power to the chair; program as needed.

d. Remove plug and cycle ON/OFF switch to drive chair.

Note:

Review the Quickie QTRONIX Programmer Owner’s Manual for more

details on how to program your chair.

Note:

Program settings that are not matched for the capabilities of the rider

can result in serious injury. Do not alter settings without the advice of your
health care professional.

C. THERMAL ROLL-BACK 

Your chair has a thermal roll back circuit.This protects the controller from
damage due to overheating. In extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill
climbing) the circuit will decrease the power to your motors.This allows the
chair to operate at a reduced speed.When the controller cools, the chair will
return to normal speed.

D. CIRCUIT BREAKERS 

1. Notes:

Your Quickie G-424 has a circuit breaker
protruding through the shroud cover at
the right rear of the chair.

In the unlikely event of a short circuit
or heavy overload, all power to your
chair will be shut off.

To reset your chair, depress the circuit
breaker button located at the rear
corner of the chair. A few minutes
wait is required before the circuit
breaker will reset.

2. Repeated Shutdown:

If the chair continues to shut down 
after resetting, have it serviced by 
a supplier.

E. INTEGRAL JOYSTICK

The standard integral joystick controls the
chair’s performance. It consists of the
following parts:

1. Speed Control or Drive Mode

Selection Buttons (A and B)

To decrease the speed level depress button
A. Or, when 1- 5 Drive modes are
programmed, depress button A to activate
lower drive mode(s).
