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. Pride provides 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 authorized Pride Pro-
vider 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 oper-
ating your power chair safely.
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.
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 if equipped 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 VII. “Care and Maintenance.”
Check battery charge. See VI. “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 authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

PROHIBITED! The spring tension on your power chair was factory set to meet the needs of the
demographic majority of users. Do not adjust the tension of any spring on your power chair.
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 pro-
vided by one or more wiring harnesses. See figure 3.
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 rear main frame): 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, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and con-
tinue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride
Provider.

bars that are mounted to the power base. See figure 7.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Spe-
cialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or a TRU-Balance Power
Positioning System, refer to the information provided
in separate manuals.
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat
frame by the armrests. They are free to
pivot, and you may lose control of the
seat if they do so.
To install the seat:
1. Tilt the seat back and slide the rear extrusion onto
the rear trapeze bar. See figure 7.
2. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar
