Take care when lifting Batteries.
To avoid injury be sure to adopt
the correct lifting posture, ask for
assistance if required. Lift both
batteries into the battery carrier
with the connecting leads towards
the rear of the chair and push the
batteries together into the centre
of the carrier as in Fig 4b. Tension
both halves of the strap so that
when the buckles are clipped
together, the batteries are held firm
in the battery carrier Fig 4b.
8.
Connect Harness and Cables.
9.
Check all components are located
correctly and fasteners are securely
tightened.
10. Check the operation of all
components and ensure they
function correctly.
Folding/Dismantling
For ease of storage and transportation your Powerchair has been designed to dismantle into easily
manageable components, remember, when lifting to adopt the correct posture, knees bent back straight,
ask for help if you cannot manage the heavier components.
1.
Switch off power on the Joystick Box.
2.
If a Spreader bar is fitted across the backrest, detach it from the Backrest, also remove the kerb
rider (if fitted).
3.
Check the footrests/legrests are in a locked position towards the front of the chair and that the
footplates are folded upward to vertical position. Alternatively, remove the footrests/legrests
from the Powerchair. To remove the footrest, press the lever behind the vertical chassis tube
swing the footrest outward and unhook it from the frame. To install the footrest, hold it slightly
angled away from the Powerchair, with the two hinge plates above the mounting pins on the
Powerchair frame, align the holes in the hinge plates with the mounting pins, so that you can slide
the hinge plates over the pins. Swing the footrest forward to its normal position until it snaps
into lock.
4.
Disconnect all cables from the underside of the Electronic Power Module and the Battery
connecting cables.
5.
Remove both Armrests along with the Joystick Box assembly. To remove the armrest, proceed
in the same manner and simply pull it out of its mounting socket, altogether. On the side where
the joystick box is fitted (usually on the right) the connecting cable from the joystick box to the
underside of the electronic power module is long enough, so that this armrest can be removed in
the same manner, place by the side of the Powerchair, alternatively, disconnect the joystick box
cable from the power module.
6.
Remove thumbscrews and Cradle Clamp and Battery Straps.
7.
Remove the Batteries and Cradle. Take care when lifting Batteries. To avoid injury be sure to
adopt the correct lifting posture, ask for assistance if required.
8.
With a firm grip pull both side tubes of the seat upward. The two Powerchair halves will
concertina together and reduce the Powerchair to a compact stowage size.
NOTE
If your Powerchair is stowed or transported in a horizontal position, place it with the side of the power module and
the joystick box uppermost, in order to avoid any damage.
