WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not

expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse

or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental

conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more

information.

To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:
1. Position the rear of your power chair close to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the drive mode position. See III. “Your

Power Chair.”

3. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle on the power base, then into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is
plugged into an electrical outlet.

4. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops

to 0.

NOTE: The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute
for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0
amps as the batteries charge.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about the 0 mark on the ammeter. Disconnect the

charger power cord, wind up the cord, and store it in a safe place.

To charge the batteries using the optional off-board charger:
1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off.
3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/programming socket on the controller.
4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to
the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride off-
board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the electrical outlet and then from the controller.

Battery Break-in

To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance

level.

2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you

become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.

3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now

perform at over 90% of their potential.

4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.
