Daily Checks

Two important daily checks, besides performing a daily visual inspection of your RPC (Redman Power
Chair), concern the batteries and joystick. Be sure to:
o Charge your chair's batteries daily. When you are not using your chair it should be plugged into
the charger. The complete charge of batteries can take up to eight or nine hours. The charger
will not over charge and will automatically turn off.
o The joystick may be on or off when charging.
o Check that the joystick knob has not been bent or damaged and returns to the center when
released.

Weekly Checks

Some other inspections recommended for your chair are necessary less often than daily, however these
inspections are still encouraged:
o Ensure that all cables and connectors are secure, properly connected, and free from damage.
o Once a week turn on the joystick and after a few seconds, check that the battery level gauge remains
on or flashes slowly.
o To ensure brakes on motors are functioning properly, complete the following steps:
*Make sure you are in Profile 1 (the lowest speed)*
• Push the joystick forward then immediately release. You should hear the brake solenoid
click as it disengages then reengages the brakes. The chair will move forward.
• Repeat the test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, left and right respectively.
Again, the chair will move slightly during the process.
