F. Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a reset button located on the front battery box with 2 connectors (Fig. 16). The main circuit breaker monitors the electric current drawn from the batteries. It is a safety feature built in your power wheelchair for your extra safety. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit breaker trips, wait for approximately one minute and then press the button to reset it. Then turn on the controller power, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized dealer. G. Chair Response: Should the chair’s response not be to your satisfaction, ask your dealer to adjust the program to a level at which you are comfortable. The program can be altered to either increase or decrease the response rates for better control of your power wheelchair. Reset Button Fig. 16 Page 15 BATTERIES & CHARGER BATTERIES & CHARGER BATTERY We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free for your power wheelchair. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries and are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. Lead-acid batteries should be charged as often as possible. Specification of the battery that we recommend: Type: Deep-cycle sealed lead-acid or gel cell Size: U-1 Voltage: 12 V each Amp Hours: 30-35 amp hours Depending on the use, terrain and driving conditions, the batteries will provide a range of 15-20 miles of travel. However, even if the power chair is not used, we recommend that the batteries be charged periodically. Note: BDo not use any automotive batteries. They are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge and also are unsafe for use in power chairs. BThe useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives. CHARGER The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it to VDC (direct current). The batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the amperage from the charger is almost at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery. Note: BThe surface of the charger will become slightly hot during charging. BMake sure the fan of the charger works properly for cooling the charger. BThe batteries will not be able to be charged after they are discharged to nearly zero voltage. BIf your charger comes with two settings, 110V or 220V, always make sure you are using the correct setting before charging. Z Warning! Only use the off-board charger that is supplied with your power wheelchair. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger. Use of any other charging unit voids the warranty and could result in severe damage to the batteries, the HP-1, and may cause a fire hazard. Page 16 BATTERIES & CHARGER BATTERIES & CHARGER CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS To recharge the batteries, follow the steps below: BPlace your power wheelchair close to a standard electrical wall outlet. BTurn the controller power OFF. BConnect the charger connector to the control box charging socket (Fig. 17). BPlug the charger power cord into a standard wall outlet. BTurn the charger switch ON. A red and a yellow (if battery charge is low) LED will illuminate. BWhen charging is completed, the yellow LED will turn green. BTurn the charger switch OFF when the batteries are fully charged. BUnplug the charger power cord from the wall outlet BDisconnect the other end of the charger power cord from the charging socket. Note: BMake sure to unplug the charger from the wall outlet and chair after charging. Leaving the charger connected to the chair but unplugged from the wall outlet will slowly discharge the batteries. BAlways charge your batteries in well ventilated areas. BThe charger is intended for indoor use only. Protect from moisture. BFor maximum performance, it is recommended that you replace both batteries at the same time if the batteries are weak. BIf the chair will not be used for a long period of time, arrange to have the batteries fully charged for at least once every month. According to the battery type and condition of the batteries, batteries usually can be fully charged in 4-10 hours. This will be indicated when the status light in the battery charger side panel turns green. Charging the battery longer than necessary will not harm the battery. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 10 hours after daily use. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours.
