WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorised by Pride. Pre-Ride Safety Check Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit. WARNING! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

Doing so could cause instability in your power chair. Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 8.7% (5°). See figure 1.
Page 13
Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions — dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass and gravel.
Motor Vehicle Transport Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured.
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. This will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources. Quantum 1650 www.pridemobility.com...
Pride recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
Page 17
WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your power chair, although the power chair has passed necessary testing requirements for cigarette smoking.

Seat Installation The Quantum 1650 seat is attached to the power base by four safety snap pins. Each pin is inserted into a receiver on the power base frame. The seat towers have holes that enable you to adjust the seat height. Safety snap pins are inserted through the receiver and through the seat towers to secure the seat.
Your Quantum Rehab Dealer has evaluated your power chair and made any necessary adjustments to suit your specific requirements. Do not change your seating configuration without first contacting Pride Mobility Products or your Quantum Rehab Dealer.

NOTE: Each drive tyre must be inflated to the psi/bar/kPa rating indicated on the tyre in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted. The user must also be seated in the power chair in order to properly adjust the anti-tip wheels. Quantum 1650 www.pridemobility.com...
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose or damaged parts before each use of the power chair. If you discover problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Dealer for maintenance and repair. www.pridemobility.com Quantum 1650...
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair is occupied.
We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, contact your Quantum Rehab Dealer for assistance. www.pridemobility.com Quantum 1650...
Page 31
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).
Page 32
What about shipping? If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes. www.pridemobility.com Quantum 1650...
V I I . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Quantum 1650 is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorised vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Dealer.
Check the castor forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Dealer for repair. Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc. www.pridemobility.com Quantum 1650...
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut and washer, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode. Quantum 1650 www.pridemobility.com...
Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity. WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time. www.pridemobility.com Quantum 1650...
