WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If your off-board battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.

To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

1.Position the rear of the power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.

2.Turn off the power to the controller and engage the manual freewheel lever(s) in the drive position. See III. “Your Power Chair.”

3.Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is plugged into an electrical outlet.

4. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.As the batteries charge the ammeter needle slowly drops to 0.

NOTE: 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 0 amps as the batteries charge.

5.When the batteries are fully charged, the ammeter needle vibrates on or about the 0 mark on the ammeter scale. Unplug the charger power cord from the electrical outlet, wind the cord up and secure it with the reusable hook and loop strap, then place the cord back into the electronics tray.

To charge the batteries using an off-board battery charger:

3.Plug the 3-pin extension cable from the off-board battery charger into the off-board battery charger/program- ing socket on the controller. See VII. “Operation.”

4.Plug the off-board battery charger into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride off-board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

5.We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

6.When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet, then from the controller.

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 power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
