General Guidelines

MANDATORY!

Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner's manual.

Your power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. We provide an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power chair user, who is capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power chair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the Quantum Rehab Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will need to practice operating the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your power chair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating your power chair safely.

Pre-Ride Safety Check

Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:

• Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire with pneumatic tires.
  ■ Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
  ■ Check all controller connections to the power base. Make sure they are secured properly.
• Check the brakes. See "Care and Maintenance."
• Check battery charge. See "Batteries and Charging."
  ■ Ensure the manual freewheel levers are in drive mode before sitting on the power chair.

NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.

WARNING!

We recommend that a DOT-approved safety helmet be worn at all times when operating your motorized power chair. As with any type of vehicle, it is the responsibility of the user to contribute to his/ her own safety by adhering to applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as laws set forth specifi cally for operation vehicles. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

Your can be safely operated on uneven and unpacked terrain when the user follows all safety guidelines and is wearing a safety helmet approved by the DOT (US) or the governing body in other geographic areas. Be sure to familiarize yourself with and obey all safety helmet standards in your geographic area. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that DOT-approved helmets sold in the United States meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 218. Follow all DOT-approved helmet manufacturer's instructions for fit, use, and care of your helmet. Failure to wear a helmet and/or follow all safety guidelines may result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.

Use extreme caution when riding on wet and/or oily surfaces, sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, leaves, other natural or man-made terrain, and/or sloped terrain. There is an increased risk of loss of control, which can result in injury, death, and/or property damage

Your Power Chair

Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the power base assembly. Typically, the seat assembly includes the armrests, seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes four motors/two brake assemblies on rear motors, four drive wheels, two batteries, and wiring harnesses. See (page 4) and figure 1.

Electrical Components

The electrical components consist of the controller assembly, the batteries, and the motors. The batteries, motors, and controller power module (if equipped) are located on the power base assembly. The controller is located on the seat assembly. Connectivity between the controller and the motors, batteries, and the battery charger is provided by one or more wiring harnesses. See figure 1.

Controller Harness Connector: The controller harness connector is where the controller plugs into the power base. Each controller uses a different type of harness. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the harness must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the floor.

Motor Connectors: This is where the controller connects to the motors.

Battery Connector: This is where the controller connects to the batteries.

Controller Power Module: This enables the controller to communicate with the batteries and the motors.

Main Circuit Breaker (located on the front of the battery box): 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, flip the paddle on the circuit breaker to reset the system. Turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider. The circuit breaker also functions as a battery isolation switch. The batteries can be isolated from the system by pushing the yellow button. When power for the system is required simply flip the paddle on the circuit breaker down to restore power.

Battery Break-in

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:

1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.
2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
3. Give the batteries another full charge of at least 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.
4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the charger work?

The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it to 24V DC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger does not work as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery

Figure 14. Battery Charger

Figure 15. Q-Logic 3 Battery Charging Indicator

is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery.

Can I use a different battery charger?

You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

NOTE: Your power chair's charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

Daily Use

If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day's service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.

■ Infrequent Use

If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for at least 24 hours.

NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge:

■ Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.
■ Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
■ Limit baggage weight to essential items.
■ Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
■ We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.

What type of batteries should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifications table for more information regarding the batteries used with your power chair.

WARNING!

Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.

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 Quantum 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).

It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain—then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair's batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

How should I store my power chair and its batteries?

If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once per week.

If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezing and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery. A cold or frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.

What about public transportation?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements (United States only), allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier's ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier's specific requirements.

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.

Care and Maintenance

Your power chair is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair's care or operation, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING!

Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.

Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any kind.

WARNING!

Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chair's frame to rust. Power chairs should be examined periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily fluid exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated immediately.

Should your power chair come in contact with water:

1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to a Quantum Rehab Provider. Power chairs that are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and electronic components may need to be replaced frequently.

Temperature

Although your power chair can withstand short-term storage temperatures between -40^ (-40°C) to 149^ (65°C), it is recommended that long-term storage temperatures be between -13^ (-25°C) and 122^ (50°C). Ideal storage conditions are 68^ (20°C) to 70^ (21°C) wherever possible, but we realize that is not always feasible due to different climates and environments.
In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).

General Guidelines

■ Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

■ Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.
- Keep the controller clean.
- Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
■ Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire.

WARNING!

Make sure your tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire for pneumatic tires. Do not under inflate or over inflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.

Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.

■ Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.

WARNING!

Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

■ All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
If your power chair has a body shroud with a glossy finish, the body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. If your power chair has a body shroud with a matte finish, use ONLY products developed for matte-finish paint. Do not use wax, detail spray, ArmorAll®, or any product made for glossy paint.

WARNING!

Carefully choose the correct product to protect the finish of your power chair's shroud(s). ONLY products developed for matte-finish paint should be used on shrouds with a matte finish. Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the shroud's matte paint finish.

- Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing rearward. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.

WARNING!

Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.

Daily Checks

■ With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.
■ Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.
- Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
■ Inspect the seating system, armrests, and front riggings for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.

Weekly Checks

■ Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if necessary.
■ Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
- Check for proper tire inflation. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your Quantum Rehab Provider for replacement of the tube.
- Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance around your power chair.

To check the brakes:

1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.

Monthly Checks

■ Check for drive tire wear. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
- Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
- Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
- Check the entire power chair for loose hardware and changes in the function or performance of the power chair. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for service or repair.
- Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.

■ Spring shocks and gas dampers should be visually checked for any abnormality, structure damage, or bent rods. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.

Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.

Storage

Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See "Batteries and Charging."

WARNING!

If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged. Any corroded electronic connection should be replaced.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.

You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.

Disposal of Your Power Chair

Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local waste disposal agency or Quantum Rehab Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.

WARNING!

Plastic bags are a suffocation hazard. Dispose of plastic bags properly and do not allow children to play with them.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Precautions must be taken when cleaning medical equipment/devices to lower the risk of spreading infection. This is to limit the spread of illness and other potentially infection material (OPIM) (blood components).

■ Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your product before application.

How to Clean/Disinfect Equipment:

Wheel Replacement

If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through your Quantum Rehab Provider.

WARNING!

The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by a Quantum Rehab Provider or a qualified technician.

Be sure that the controller's power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

When changing a tire, remove only the five lug nuts, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.

Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid tires:

1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Remove the five (5) lug nuts from the wheel hub. See figure 17.
5. Pull the wheel off of the hub.
6. Remove the screws and separate the front and rear rim. See figure 18.
7. Remove the old tube from the pneumatic tire and replace it with a new tube or replace the entire assembly if it is a solid tire.
8. Screw together the two rim halves.
9. Slide the wheel back onto the hub.
10. Reinstall the five (5) lug nuts onto the wheel hub a tighten.
11. Inflate the pneumatic tire to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
12. Remove the power chair from the blocks.

Maintaining correct tire pressure

■ Maintaining the right tire pressure will help your power chair's tires maintain top performance.
■ Over inflated tires can result in increased wear in your tires along with a more rugged ride.
■ Under inflated tires can result in less range and stability along with more punctures in the tire itself.
■ Regularly inspect your power chair tires for signs of wear.
