5. OPERATION

Suggestion

1.  You should recharge the batteries after each time the power chair is used 

to ensure maximum range. The batteries should be charged at least once a 

week even if the power chair is not used. 

2.  After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the power chair for  

2-3minutestomakesurethebatterycapacityissufficient.

3.  In winter, the battery may respond more slowly and the battery range  

may be reduced.

4.  When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light might move up  

and down. This is normal and should not cause concern.

5.  Even with proper care and use of the battery it is natural for the battery’s 

capacity to reduce with time.  Therefore, when the battery’s range has  

reduced by about 50% from when it was new, it is time for it to be replaced. 

Please contact your dealer about replacement batteries. If an old battery 

continues to be used it can lead to a rapid decline in performance.

orroughterrain,asthisrequiresagreaterconsumptionofpower.

7.  The batteries have a six-month warranty covering manufacturing  

defects. This warranty does not cover faults due to incorrect  

battery recharging.

Braking

Electro-magnetic brake: Release the speed control lever completely, and the  

electromagnetic brake will be activated automatically, and the power chair will stop.

Warning

When on a gradient NEVER switch the power chair to freewheel mode. The 

electromagnetic brakes will not be applied and this may result in injury.
