Your Power Chair
The Q6 Edge 2.0 Power Chair
Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the
power base assembly. Typically, the seat assembly includes the armrests,
seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes two motor/
brake assemblies, two drive wheels, four caster wheels, two batteries, and
wiring harnesses. See Identifi cation Key (pages 4-5) and fi gure 1.
PROHIBITED! The spring tension on your power chair was factory set
to meet the needs of the demographic majority of users. Do not adjust
the tension of any spring on your power chair.
Electrical Components
The electrical components consist of the controller assembly, 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 fi gure 1.
Controller Harness Connector: The controller harness connector is where
the controller plugs into the power base. Each controller uses a different
type of harness. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the harness
must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the fl oor.
Motor Connectors: This is where the controller connects to the motors.
Battery Connector: This is where the controller connects to the batteries.
Controller Power Module: This enables the controller to communicate
with the batteries and the motors.
Main Circuit Breaker (located on the rear main frame): The main circuit
breaker 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 your power chair to “rest” for approximately one
minute. Next, 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 Quantum Rehab Provider.
Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel
lever mounted on each motor. The levers allow you to disengage the drive
motors and maneuver the chair manually.
