Electrical Components
The electrical components consist of the controller, the batteries, and the motors. The batteries, motors, and controller power module (if equipped) are located on the power base assembly. The controller is located on the seat assembly. Connectivity between the controller and the motors, batteries, and the battery charger is provided by one or more wiring harnesses. See figures 6 and 7.
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. Each controller uses a different type of cable. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the cable must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the floor.
Ammeter: This displays the charger’s current output in amps.
Main Circuit Breaker: This is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow the power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
Charger Power Cord Receptacle: This is where the charger power cord plugs in when the batteries need to be re- charged.
Battery Connectors
Motor Connectors: These provide a connection between the motors and the power base.
