To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

1.Position the rear of your Jet 10 close to a standard wall outlet.

2.Be certain the controller power is turned off and the manual freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See IV. “Your Jet 10.”

3.Remove the battery charger cord from the back pouch of your Jet 10 and plug it into the battery charger AC power cord receptacle located on the power base. See figure 4.

4.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jet 10 incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet.

5.The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to zero amps as the batteries charge.

6.We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about the zero mark on the ammeter scale.

7.When your Jet 10’s batteries are fully charged, you can unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wind it up using the hook and loop strap, and place the cord back into the Jet 10’s back pouch.

OFF-BOARD CHARGER

If your Jet 10 is equipped with an off-board charger, follow these instructions.

1.Position your Jet 10 next to a standard wall outlet.

2.Be certain the controller power is turned off.

3.Remove the run plug (located where the charger harness would normally plug into the power base). See figure 4. This activates the inhibit function.

4.Plug the 3-pin extension cable from the charger into the connector where the run plug was removed.

5.Plug the charger into the wall outlet.

6.The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the charger to come up to normal operating temperature. The ammeter should move to 5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0 amps.As the batteries are charged, the ammeter needle will slowly drop to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about 0 amps. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

7.When your Jet 10’s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger cord from the wall outlet and the charger from the power base.

8.Reconnect the run plug into its connector.

NOTE: If the run plug is not reconnected, your Jet 10 will not run.

BATTERY BREAK-IN

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:

1.Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.

2.Operate your Jet 10 throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and don’t stray too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
