  • Page 10: General Guidelines

    Pride products. Pre-Ride Safety Check Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.
  • Page 11 Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit. MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
  • Page 12 Doing so could cause instability in your power chair. Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 10.5% (6°). See figure 1.
  • Page 13 Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass and gravel. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.
  • Page 14 Motor Vehicle Transport Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured. In addition, all removable power chair parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller and shrouds should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
  • Page 15 Never reach, lean or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean or bend while seated on your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Pride recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Page 16 Always have an attendant or health- care professional present while learning to properly trans- fer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recommends that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks be- fore attempting a transfer: ! Turn off the power to the controller.
  • Page 17 WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your power chair, although the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for cigarette smoking.

  • Page 26: Batteries And Charging

    PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair is occupied.
  • Page 27 See figure 14. 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet. NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to the off-board charger is on.
  • Page 28 We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence 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 What about shipping? If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in the original shipping container, and ship the batteries in separate boxes. Quantum R-4000 www.pridemobility.com...

    ! Use a rubber conditioner on the tyre sidewalls to help preserve them. WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tyres; doing so may make the tyres slippery and cause your power chair to skid. www.pridemobility.com Quantum R-4000...
  • Page 31 Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Dealer for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a regular basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications. Quantum R-4000 www.pridemobility.com...
  • Page 32 WARNING! Be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure. WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nuts, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode. www.pridemobility.com Quantum R-4000...
  • Page 33 WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity. WARNING! Do not mix old and new batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Quantum R-4000 www.pridemobility.com...
  • Page 34 Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the directions that come with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your power chair still does not power up, contact your Quantum Rehab Dealer. www.pridemobility.com Quantum R-4000...
