Batteries And Charging - Pride Mobility Power Glide Basic Operation Instructions

Basic Operation Instructions
Speed Dial
The speed dial controls the maximum speed of the Power Glide. Turn the
speed dial clockwise to increase maximum speed and counterclockwise to
reduce maximum speed.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your Power Glide,
you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar with its
operation. Always select a speed setting that is a comfortable walking pace.
WARNING! Do not pull or lift the handle extensions, if
installed. Pride recommends that handle extensions should
only be used to push the wheelchair. Check the setscrews
periodically to ensure proper securement.
Forward/Reverse Switch
The forward/reverse switch controls the direction of the Power Glide with-
out having to manually reverse the wheelchair or lift the Power Glide off of
the ground. Push the switch toward the front of the wheelchair to go forward
and push the switch toward the rear of the wheelchair to go rearward.
NOTE: Switching the Power Glide into reverse may cause the powerpack
to flip over. Use caution when switching into reverse.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever activates the Power Glide to the maximum speed set by
the speed dial. Pull the throttle lever up to activate the Power Glide.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your Power Glide uses one long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle battery. The
battery is sealed and maintenance free. Since it is sealed, there is no need to
check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to
handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appear-
ance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive bat-
teries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe
for use in mobility devices.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when
handling batteries
