CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the Pilot, the charger, and the connectors.
Thermal Rollback
The Pilot is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the motors and the Pilot. In the event that either one of the motors or the Pilot becomes excessively hot (above 122° F), the Pilot reduces the motor voltage. For every degree above 122° F, the controller reduces the voltage by 5 volts. This reduces your power chair’s speed and allows the electrical components to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal speed.
WARNING! Under strenuous driving conditions, it is possible for the bottom and side case temperature of the Pilot to exceed 105° F. DO NOT touch the side or bottom of the Pilot case under these circumstances.
Trouble Codes
In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate possible problems with your power chair. The battery condition meter has ten lights. The lights provide information by the number of lights that are flashing. If any of the meter lights are flashing rapidly, the controller may be indicating a fault. For instance, if the first light is flashing rapidly, the battery voltage is nearly depleted. The following is a list of the possible errors signified by the rapidly flashing meter. When you get a trouble code, contact your authorized Pride provider.
