The Q6 Edge 3 Stretto 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 Q6 Edge 3 Stretto (page 4) and figure 1.
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 figure 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 floor.
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 left side of the 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. The circuit breaker will reset
itself. Turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If
the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact
your Quantum Rehab Provider.
