Your power chair is equipped with a 115/230V manual switch
off-board charger with a voltage selector switch. See
figure 26. This switch is factory set to the correct voltage for
the locality where the mobility device is purchased. However,
if you travel to another country or locality that uses a different
voltage level, you will need to reset the switch to match the
voltage of your current location. If you are not sure what the
voltage is in your country or locality, contact a local electricity
provider before plugging the charger into an electrical outlet.
If the setting is incorrect or if the switch is not fully engaged
in the correct position, the charger will not function properly.
NOTE: Be aware that the voltage selector switch may be
recessed and you may need to use a tool, such as a flat-head
screwdriver, to slide the switch to the correct position.
WARNING! Do not use a converter with your
battery charger. Plug the charger directly into
a properly rated electrical outlet. Failure to
follow these
damage to the charger or converter.
To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard
electrical outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the
freewheel levers are in the drive position. See III. "Your
Power Chair."
3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/
programming socket on the controller. See figure 28.
4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate different
charger conditions at various times: charger power on,
charging in progress and charging complete. Refer to the
manual supplied with the charger for a complete explanation
of these indicators.
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board
charger from the electrical outlet and then from the controller.
