The SHARK system 9
Battery charging
The 3-pin XLR battery charging socket is located on
the front of the SHARK. If the chair has an On-board
Battery Charger (OBC), plug the OBC power cable
into a power outlet. The powerchair does not drive
when the batteries are being charged. Only use the
battery charger provided by your dealer.
When the SHARK is turned on during charging, the
LEDs of the battery gauge will swap between showing
the approximate battery charge, and turning on one
by one from left to right to indicate that the
powerchair will not drive.
When the Battery Charger shows a „full‟ battery charge, you can remove the charger from
the SHARK. Do not use the indication on the battery gauge. Only use the indication on the
battery charger itself to see when charging is complete.
Using the Seating Functions
In the Seating Mode the joystick does not drive the chair; it selects and operates the
seating functions instead.
Activate the Seating Mode
Press the Seat Function button to activate Seating Mode.
The Seating Mode starts with Seat Function 1 selected
(If Seat Function 1 is enabled.).
The '1' on the Seat Function button becomes illuminated.
Note:
1. It is recommended to leave the SHARK off while charging when
possible. A load during charging (for example, the use of seating
functions) causes a temporary voltage drop in the battery. This
causes some battery chargers to think that the battery is still empty
while it is actually fully charged. Depending on the specifications of
the battery charger, this can result in overcharging and possible
battery damage. Read the manual of your battery charger for
more information.
2. Overcharging dramatically decreases the lifespan of a battery.
3. If SHARK is turned off or goes into sleep mode while charging,
charging will continue.
