YOUR QUANTUM DYNAMO ATS
SEAT AND POWER BASE COMPONENTS
The seating system and the power base consist of the following components.
l
Joystick/Controller: This device is used to move the power chair. See figure 2.
l
Joystick/Controller HarnessConnector: This is where the joystick harness connects to the electronics tray. See figure 3.
l
Armrests: These provide a comfortable place to rest your arms during time spent on your power chair. See figure 2.
l
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. See figure 5.
l
Body Shroud: These are the plastic pieces that cover the power base. See figure 2.
l
Swing-away Leg Rests: This is where your feet rest during time spent on your power chair. See figure 2.
l
Anti-Tip Wheels: These are wheels that allow “slight” or “no” tip while driving. They also allow for 2-in. curb climbing
abilities. See figure 2.
l
Drive Wheels: These are the main wheels that move the power chair. See figure 2.
l
Rear Caster Wheels: These are the trailing wheels that provide stability. See figure 2.
l
Ammeter: The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. See figure 3.
l
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. See figure 3. 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 authorized Pride provider.
l
Battery Charger AC Receptacle: This is where the battery charger cord plugs in when the batteries need to be recharged.
See figure 3.
l
Battery Connectors: These provide connection between the battery boxes and the electronics tray. See figure 4.
l
Motor Connectors: These provide connection between the motors and the electronics tray. See figure 4.
MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVERS
Your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers. See figure 5. These levers allow you to disengage the drive
motors and maneuver the chair manually. This is called freewheel mode.
WARNING! Do not use your Quantum Dynamo ATS while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline. The chair
could roll down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Quantum Dynamo ATS is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1.
Push down the manual freewheel levers to engage the drive motors.
2.
Pull up the manual freewheel levers to disengage the drive motors.
