5.3 attaching and Removing
the Main battery
To attach the main battery to the chair:
Align the
mounting slots on the main battery (Figure 9, page 14)
with the mating ridges on the motor (Figure 11). Slide the
main battery onto the slots until it snaps into the locked
position (Figure 12). Verify that the main battery is securely
mounted on the motor before using the chair.
To remove the main battery from the chair:
Press both
red release buttons on the main battery (Figure 9, page 14)
and slide it off the ridges on the motor.

The charge indicator on the main battery (Figure 10)
illuminates one to four red lights to indicate the charge
remaining in the battery (approximately 25% intervals).
Press the test button (Figure 10) and the light(s) will
illuminate briefly. With a full charge, all four lights are
displayed. If the charge is lower than 10%, the first light
flashes four times when the test button is pressed.
Extreme temperature (cold or hot), extreme patient weight,
and the age of the batteries affect how quickly the charge in
the batteries is used.

If the internal temperature of the battery becomes too
high, the main battery will shut off to protect itself, and all
powered chair motion stops.
To verify the battery has overheated, press the test button
on the battery. The battery will indicate it is overheated
by flashing the lights alternately. Allow the battery to cool
before use. When the battery is ready for use, pressing the
test button will show the remaining charge.
