WARNING! If the battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not
expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse
or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental
conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more
information.
To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Turn off the power to the controller and engage the manual freewheel lever(s) in the drive position. See III. "Your
Power Chair."
3. Plug the 3-pin extension cable from the off-board battery charger into the off-board battery charger/programming
socket on the controller.
4. Plug the off-board battery charger into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to
the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride off-
board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet, then from the controller.
To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:
1. Position the rear 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 engaged position. See III. "Your
Power Chair."
3. Slide the rear cover forward.
4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is
plugged into an electrical outlet.
5. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops
to zero.
NOTE: The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute
for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0
amps as the batteries charge.
6. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near the zero mark on the ammeter scale. Unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet, wind it up using the hook and loop strap, and place the cord back into the
electronics tray.
