BOSS 4.5, RF, P3 & P4 OWNERS MANUAL 25
Fuse:
There are no replaceable fuses in the charger. This charger uses solid state technology to protect the unit
and the batteries until the fault has been removed.
Service/ Troubleshooting: Should your charger fail to perform:
1. First, check that all connections are properly made for a fully assembled wheelchair. On some equip-
ment, the charger lines go through the motor plug, so if the motor plug is disconnected for some reason,
then the charger will not function. Likewise, if the batteries are not connected, they will not receive a
charge, and the meter will not give an indication.
2. Check that the wall outlet has power to it. The outlet may be on a switch and will not function if not
switched on.
If these steps fail to produce satisfactory results, please refer to an authorized service center to have the
system fully analyzed.
Tips for increasing the range of the power wheelchair:
• Reduce the weight carried on the wheelchair.
• Infl ate the tires to the recommended pressures.
• Acclerate slowly by pushing gently on the throttle.
• Set the speed control knob to about two-thirds of maximum speed.
• Travel around obstacles whenever possible.
• Periodically check that all electrical connections are secure.
Tips for maximizing the battery life and reducing total recharge time:
• Always use the PaceSaver battery charger that is provided with the wheelchair.
• Park the wheelchair in the shade whenever possible.
• Avoid discharging the batteries below the green LED zone on the battery meter,
(about 50 percent discharge level).
• Recharge until the "CHARGE" light on the charger turns off. This would be 80 - 90 percent of full charge.
• Every ten or so recharge cycles leave the charger connected to the batteries for a few additional
hours or overnight. This will bring the battery up to 100 percent recharge level.
• Avoid subjecting the batteries to below zero freezing conditions.
