Transporting Your
Powerchair
Contact your dealer for advice on how best to
transport your Powerchair in your vehicle. You
may prefer to use ramps rather than lifting the
components.
After Using Ramps to Unload Your Powerchair
• Position the Powerchair on level, solid ground
• Check parts for any sign of damage.
• Select power on and ensure that the battery level
indicator shows green. If not charge the Powerchair
before use.
• Check the freewheel levers are in the “drive”
position and not in the “freewheel”position
• Get on the Powerchair and test the operation of
the joystick, speed control and on off switch before
using the Powerchair to go anywhere. If there is any
malfunction, check that the joystick connection has
been correctly put together and locked. You are
now ready to drive the Powerchair away.
Battery Charging
The charging socket is located below the front of the
joystick assembly (Fig.15). With the charger discon-
nected from the mains, push the charger plug into the
socket. When the vehicle is charged always remove
the plug.
The battery charger has a red indicating lamp (Fig.16)
When the charger is connected and switched on
the lamp will show red. The second, charging, light
shows;
• Yellow when charging
• Green shows full charge
• Off to indicate disconnect the charger
Always ensure the lamp goes out before switching
off and disconnecting the charger at the mains.
Note: the charger contains a fan and will emit a
slight humming noise when in use.
Warning! Dismantling the Powerchair involves
lifting and handling heavy parts. Although your
Powerchair can be dismantled, we suggest that
you contact your dealer for advice on how best
to transport your
Powerchair in your particular vehicle. This may
involve using ramps.
Warning! Pinching or Crushing. Be careful
to avoid being pinched or having your hands
crushed when lifting or handling parts. Wear
gloves whenever possible.
Warning! This Powerchair is not suitable for
use as a seat for an occupant in a motor vehicle.
Warning! When charging batteries NEVER
smoke, or charge batteries in a place where
there are naked flames such as gas-fired heat-
ers as, under exceptional circumstances, bat-
teries may give off gases that could ignite and
explode. Always make sure that battery box is
not damaged.
Warning! When charging batteries NEVER
connect or disconnect the charger while it is still
connected to the mains.
