Trackchair®Helpful Hints
•When you are transferring into your Trackchair®, make sure the controls are in the OFF position
before sitting in the Trackchair®.
•When operating your Trackchair®, make sure you are securely fastened in with either the lap belt
or 4-point harness.
•Your Trackchair®can be programmed by your dealer to have the option of locking the joystick.
•When locking the control, follow the process below:
•Turn control OFF, hold ON/OFF button until the control has cycled both ON and then
OFF. Control is now set in the locked mode.
•If your Trackchair®has a locking control, it can be unlocked in the following way:
•Turn the control on, hold joystick forward until you hear a beep or three seconds and
then pull the joystick back until you hear a beep or three seconds. It is now unlocked
and ready for operation.
•The Trackchair®control has five speeds, one – five can be changed with the up and down arrows.
•The battery indicator is on the main screen of the controls. Battery charge will last up to
approximately four hours, depending on battery condition and type of use the Trackchair®is
subject to. Action Trackchair®has a built-in battery charger that plugs into a 120-volt outlet for
North America, or a universal charger if sold overseas for AC voltage from 90 volts to 240 volts.
•Optional lighting is available and is controlled on the joystick control panel.
•If it is necessary to pull the Trackchair®, disengage the brakes on the motors with the levers on the
back of the motors. Push levers to the outside on both motors. Do not pull the Trackchair®over 5
MPH.
•Action Manufacturing does not recommend operating your Trackchair®in salt water. Although the
Trackchair® is powder coated to the highest quality with very durable powder coat, salt water is
very corrosive and can cause problems with powder coat and metal. If your Trackchair®has been
exposed to salt water, rinse the Trackchair®completely with fresh water and dry off.

Trackchair®Comfort Adjustments
There are a few adjustments that are needed when first setting up your chair. The footrest can be
moved up or down to fit the rider’s needs. The chair itself can be leveled to the desired comfort of the
rider. The armrest can flip back for easier transferring into the chair. Electronic controls can be
adjusted by a servicing dealer regarding speed, acceleration, deceleration, braking, etc.
•ST/TR/STS/NT will tilt forward and backward by depressing the rocker switch on the grab handle.
•ST/STS arms will move up and down by pulling the pin on the rear of arm and lifting. TR arms will
move up and down simultaneously. NT/NR arms move up and down independently.
•NR knee pads and arm rests can be adjusted up and down, in or out, and forward or backward.
•TR knee pads can be adjusted up and down, forward, or backward.

Batteries and Charging (Dual Pro 120V AC only)
The Action Trackchair®will not drive while the chair is plugged
into the wall outlet and charging the batteries.
•Battery charge will last up to four hours, depending on battery condition, temperatures, and type of
use the Trackchair®is subject to (terrain and weight of rider). The Trackchair®has a built-in
battery charger that plugs into the outlet. (Power factor corrected charger for overseas)
INDEPENDENT CHARGING BANK INDICATIONS (Dual Pro 20 AMP 120V only)
•When your battery charging system is activated, each bank provides charging information utilizing
five red Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators and one green Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator.
•The five red LEDs enable you to track the progress of the charge cycle on each battery as the
voltage rises. See chart below:
•The batteries are fully charged when the Dual Pro charger has both green LED’s on solid.
•The charger can be left on for an extended period without harming the battery.
Your system provides an equalization stage every 30 days while plugged in. If the charger is normally disconnected from A/C after completing charge,
equalization can be accomplished by plugging back into A/C whenever this stage is desired. Battery manufacturers recommend that equalization is done
once a month in order to further reduce sulfation on the lead plates of a battery, which helps promote longer battery life. Note: During this process the
LEDs will go through their normal routine (Red counting up for % of charge) and the Green Led will blink until the unit returns to the maintenance mode
and a steady Green LED. (Not applicable to a Gel Profile)
2 to 12.78 volts = 10%
12.79 to 13.25 volts = 10%, 30%
13.26 to 13.49 volts = 10%, 30%, 50%
13.50 to 14.04 volts = 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%
14.05 to 14.52 volts = 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90% Green Flashing
{Finishing Stage} 14.52 to 15.49 volts

Batteries and Charging – EU Models (ProSport)
•Operation after applying AC Power to the ProSport Charger connected to discharged batteries.
(European Models Only)
During the startup test the battery type LED will be illuminated and the red charge mode LED will flash indicating
that the unit is in a self-test mode. When complete and if there are no faults, the charger's system check OK
indicator will illuminate green and the ProSport's solid red charging LED will be ON indicating the charge process
is initiated. Note: If there is a fault the appropriate bank LED will illuminate and the charge process may not start,
depending on the location of the fault.
•If there are no Battery Faults, the Green System Check OK LED will illuminate and the following
sequences will proceed:
•The red battery type LED (factory set for standard Flooded (lead-acid)/AGM batteries) will illuminate.
•The red charge mode LED will illuminate indicating the charger has started its multi -stage charging process.
•When the charge process is approximately 80% complete the red charge mode indicator will turn off and the
amber conditioning LED will turn on indicating the conditioning mode.
•When the multi-stage charge process is completed you will observe the following: Battery type red LED goes
OFF.
•The red charging LED and the amber conditioning LED will be off, and the green ready/maintain LED will
illuminate indicating your batteries are fully charged.
•The only LEDs on after the multi-stage charge process is completed are the green system OK LED, blue AC
power LED and the green ready/maintain LED.
•Multi-Stage Charging Overview
Stage 1 - System Check OK and Battery Analyzing: During this stage the ProSport red “Charge” LED will flash
indicating ProSport is analyzing all battery connections in addition to checking each battery is capable of being
charged. Upon completion the “System Check OK” indicator will illuminate green followed by Stage 2 Charging.
Stage 2 - Charging: During this mode, the “Charging” indicator will be red. The ProSport Series will use all its
available charging amps
(as controlled by temperature) until the battery voltage is raised to 14.6VDC (Flooded lead-acid factory setting).
Stage 3 - Conditioning: During this mode, the “Conditioning” status indicator will be amber. Batteries will hold at
14.6 VDC (factory set for Flooded lead-acid batteries) to complete charging while conditioning each battery
connected. Upon completion the ProSport will go into its Energy Saver Mode.
Stage 4 - Auto Maintain (Energy Saver Mode): During this mode, the blue “Power” and green “Auto Maintain”
LED's will be on indicating Stage 2 charging and Stage 3 conditioning are completed. At this time ProSport will
initiate its Auto Maintain (Energy Saver Mode) which will monitor and Auto Maintain batteries only when needed
to maintain a full state of charge.
Stage 5 - Storage Recondition Mode: During this mode, the ProSport “Storage Recondition Mode” green
indicator will illuminate with a slow fade in and out pulse. This indicates that while your batteries/boat are in
storage the ProSport will automatically recondition all batteries for up to 3 hours once a month extending battery
life and maximizing on the water battery power performance.
To get maximum daily use, the battery must be fully charged. This is accomplished by having the
Trackchair®plugged in until the “READY LIGHT” comes on, on the battery charger.

Tilt on the fly wiring harness
Tilt fuse holder
Tilt with joystick connection
Rocker Switch Override Instructions
If the actuator is not moving up or down, follow the steps below:
•First check the fuse in the black fuse holder located at the black and red 16 gauge wire harness
which comes off the battery. Fuse type is an ATC 20 amp.
•If you suspect the actuator has failed and you have a “Tilt on the Fly” rocker switch (not tilt through
the joystick) you can simply bypass the rocker switch as follows:
•Locate wire coming out of the side of the actuator, unplug from the current plug it is
attached to. Plug lead from actuator into blue/yellow lead from the 14-pin connector
which is located under the seat.
•Now turn joystick on and press the “M” button, move the joystick forward or reverse and
the actuator should move up or down.
•If you find the actuator does work, then the problem would be in the “Tilt on the Fly”
rocker switch or wiring to it.
