C H A I R THE LUXOR The Luxor has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the power base assembly. See figure 5. Typically, the seat assembly includes the armrests, seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes two motor/brake assemblies, two drive wheels, two caster wheels, two anti-tip wheels, two batteries, and wiring harnesses.

Electrical Components The Luxor’s controller is connected to the front battery box and to each motor. See figures 6 and 7. The motor connectors are marked “L” and “R”. The “L” harness is connected to the left motor and the “R” harness is connected to the right motor.
C H A I R Manual Freewheel Levers The Luxor has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually. WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline or decline, as the unit could roll on its own.

A D J U S T M E N T S COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS After you become accustomed to using your Luxor, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort. You can change the armrest height, the swing- RELEASE PIN away footrest length, and the controller position.
BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Luxor uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge.
