Page 26: Batteries And Charging
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to initial use. This will bring the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level. 2. Run your Quantum Dynamo ATS about the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not stray too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries. - Page 27 Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries. Quantum Dynamo ATS RevE/May03 www.pridemobility.com...

Page 28: Disassembly
DISASSEMBLY We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits the Quantum Dynamo ATS’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encoun- ter temperature extremes that may influence their 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 29 LEFT POWER BASE FRAME ASSEMBLY FRONT FRAME Figure 17. Quantum Dynamo ATS Component Assemblies DISCONNECT THE JOYSTICK/CONTROLLER HARNESS. Disconnect the joystick/controller harness from its connector on the electronics tray. See figure 3. You may need to pull firmly and gently wiggle the harness to remove it from the connector.
