CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Battery Replacement
A battery wiring diagram is printed on a decal located on
the rear cover. See the specification table for correct battery
specifications.
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and
gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after
handling.
The batteries in your power chair should only be
serviced or replaced by a Quantum Rehab Provider or a
qualified technician.
Do not replace batteries when seat is occupied.
Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications
table. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure
to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid
lifting beyond your capacity.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both
batteries at the same time.
Keep tools and other metal objects away from the battery
terminals. Contact with tools can cause electrical shock.
To replace the batteries:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Make sure that the power chair is in drive mode. See
“Your Power Chair.”

see figure 18

When to See Your Quantum Rehab Provider for Service
The following symptoms could indicate a serious problem
with your power chair. If necessary, contact your Quantum
Rehab Provider. When calling, have the model number,
serial number, nature of the problem, and the error code if
available.
Motor noise
Frayed harnesses
Cracked or broken connectors
Uneven wear on any of the tires
Jerky motion
Pulling to one side
Bent or broken wheel assemblies
Does not power up
Powers up, but does not move
Loose seat or seating components
Corrective Maintenance
If the battery condition meter does not light up when you turn
on the power:
Check the harness connections. Make sure they are
tight.
Check the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.
Check the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the
batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are available
at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before
load testing and follow the directions that come with the load
tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace
both of them. If your power chair still does not power up,
contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
