Lighting System Connector (Not Shown): This is where the lighting system connects to the power base. Stan- dard lighting systems have a single pin connector. Full lighting systems use a 3-pin connector.
Active-Trac Suspension
The power chair is equipped with an Active-Trac Suspension (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make the power chair traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS, the front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with the motor suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles in excess of 3 in. (7.62 cm) in height.
As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the same time, the motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the power chair over an obstacle without the possibility of becoming “hung up.”
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, the power chair begins to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered with mid-wheel drive chairs.
