Use a cross screw driver to release the screw of the light or indicator
glass. Take the glass off. This gives you access to the bulbs.
•
For the TUV lights 12V/3W bulbs with an E12 thread are
required
•
For the TUV indicators 12V/5W bulbs with a 90° bayonet socket
are required
Rear lights and indicators:
TUV-lights: Lift the red or orange glass of the light carefully off the
socket. If a bulb needs to be replaced 12V/5W cylindrical, capless is
required.
Note: We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorised spare parts
only.
Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically protect ed. In the
event of a short circuit current will be limited to a safe level. Once the
fault is removed the system resets automatically.
12.10 Electrical connections
When inspecting electrical connections, pay attention to the battery
connections, the connection of batteries to power loom and plug in
sockets for the joystick, control box and lights and indicators.
12.11 How to connect the cables to the batteries
If you are in any doubt, please contact your Sunrise Medical authorised
dealer. For further information please refer to the technical manual.
Parts in the battery box:
• Supporting plate for wheelchair controller and electric modules.
• Conical-shaped terminals for batteries with cylindrical terminals.
• Two installation cables. The black plate has holes and is design e d to
support special controls. It should be placed in the space between the
two batteries and fixed with two bolts on each top side.
Connect the batteries with the terminals opposing the centre of the
plate to avoid possible contact with it.
WARNING – Before connecting the battery terminals it is very
important to identify the correct connection for each battery
terminal. Failure to adhere to this will result in the wheelchair not
functioning or a ruptured fuse.
WARNING – Connect all battery terminals before inserting the
connectors.
WARNING – After connecting battery terminals and connectors
ensure all wiring is tidy and cannot get entangled in any moving
parts.
The red cable always goes to the positive terminal (+) of one battery.
The black cable always goes to the negative terminal (-) of the other
battery. One of the yellow cables
goes to the negative pole of one
battery (see label on cable) and
the other yellow cable goes to the
positive pole of the other battery
(see label on cable), linking both
batteries serially with the grey
connectors
(Fig. 105)
to give a supp-
ly of 24 volts.
It is better to direct the cable
terminals towards the interior of the box to avoid risk of contact with
the outer box.

When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in excess

bent or damaged and that it returns to the centre when you push and
release it.
Weekly checks:

This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one metre
clearance around the chair.
Switch on the control system.
Check that the battery gauge remains on, or flashes slowly, after one
second.
Push the joystick slowly forwards until you hear the parking brakes
operate. The chair may start to move.
Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each
parking brake operate within a few seconds.
Repeat the test a further 3 times, pushing the joystick slowly
backwards, left and right.
