Electrical Components
The electrical components are located on the battery door at the back of the power base. See figure 6.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the
motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and
the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit
breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly,
contact your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. The Europa uses a large 9-pin connector.
Sport-Trac Suspension
Your power chair is equipped with Sport-Trac Suspension (STS). STS is a suspension system designed to make your
power chair traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With STS, the spring-
loaded drive wheels move in two directions—up for rolling over obstacles and down when encountering transitions.
As the drive wheels come in contact with an obstacle, they are drawn upward. At the same time, the rear anti-tip wheels
work in opposition to the drive wheels to eliminate the possibility of the chair losing traction. This creates a safer, more
secure ride.
STS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. This unique suspension system helps to harness the motors’ torque to
make smoother transitions in speed during acceleration or deceleration.
Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers mounted on the motors. See figures
7 and 8. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually. You can manually push the
power chair by the seatback or push the power base itself if the seat is removed.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
