II. SAFETY
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 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. 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 Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.

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 3.
Controller Harness Connector: This is where the controller connects to 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
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. The circuit breaker will reset itself. Turn on the controller, and continue
normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.

Dual Manual Freewheel Levers
Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage
the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not
disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline, as the unit could
roll on its own! Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel
mode, the braking system is disengaged.

Hammer Motor Package
Your power chair may be equipped with two powerful Hammer motors. These are right angle motors capable
of producing one horsepower of peak output each. Follow the suggestions below to help ensure peak motor
performance.
Maintain an even speed when negotiating obstacles. If you encounter a situation where you have stalled the
motors, immediately release the joystick. Adjust the controller to a higher drive profile and attempt to move over
the obstacle. If you still encounter a stall condition, back away from the obstacle, then drive forward, maintaining
momentum as you negotiate over the obstacle.
WARNING! Prevent motor damage! Immediately release the joystick if the motors stall. Failure to
release the joystick within 5 seconds of motor stall may cause the motors to overheat, resulting
in damage to the motors, lack of motor performance, and/or increased motor noise.
To operate the dual manual freewheel levers:
1. Push down both manual freewheel levers for free-
wheel mode (drive motor disengaged). See figure 4.
2. Pull up both manual freewheel levers for drive mode
(drive motor engaged). See figure 5.
NOTE:Youmustturnoffthepowerbeforedisengaging
the drive motor; otherwise, you may get an error code
on the controller. To clear this code, turn off the
controller, place the power chair in drive mode, then
turn on the controller. The error message should be
cleared. If it is not cleared, contact your Quantum
Rehab Provider.
NOTE: The power chair will be significantly easier to
push with the power off.
WARNING! Avoid applying excessive
force to the manual freewheel levers.
WARNING! Do not use your foot to
operate the manual freewheel levers.
Do not stand on the manual freewheel
levers. Applying excessive force to the
manual freewheel levers may result
in damage to the freewheel levers,
motors, and brakes.
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel
lever handles as tie-down points to
secure this product.
