III. YOUR POWER CHAIR THE QUANTUM 600 SERIES POWER CHAIR Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the power base assembly. See figure 5. Typically, the seat assembly includes the armrests, seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes two motor/brake assemblies, two drive wheels, four caster wheels, two batteries, and wiring harnesses. See figure 5, 6, and 7.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR REAR SHROUD FASTENERS TRAPEZE BARS FRONT COVER MOTOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY Figure 6. The Quantum 600 Series Power Base Electrical Components The electrical components are located inside the power base. The ammeter and the charger power cord receptacle for the optional onboard charger are located on the right side of the power base. The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the battery tray. The controller connector(s) are located inside the power base. See figure 7.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. Each controller uses a different type of cable. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the cable must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the floor. Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Manual Freewheel Levers Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually. There are two different types of manual freewheel levers that your power chair may be equipped with based on the drive motor configuration. See figures 8a, 8b, 9a, and 9b.
I V. ASSEMBLY INITIAL ASSEMBLY Your power chair may require some assembly either before initial use or after transportation. It may also require disassembly to make some comfort adjustments. Figure 10 details those parts of the power chair that are designed to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by a qualified caregiver before using the product or making comfort adjustments.
I V. ASSEMBLY Seat Installation It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to the seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest width, armrest angle and height, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat, Synergy Seat, or TRU-Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS NOTE: Change the seat dump by raising or lowering only one trapeze bar (front or rear). 10. Reinstall the retaining clips. 11. Remove each screw from the trapeze bars and apply thread lock. 12. Reinstall each screw into the trapeze bars and tighten. 13. Reinstall the seat. 14. Reconnect the controller to the power base. 15. Reinstall the rear shroud and tighten the fasteners.
V. COMFORT Seatback Angle Adjustment If your power chair is equipped with an adjustable seatback, you can adjust it to four (4) different angles: 90°, 102°, 105°, or 107°. To adjust the seatback angle: 1. Remove the adjusting screws from each seat hinge. See figure 14. 2. Set the seatback at the desired angle. 3. Reinstall the adjusting screws to each seat hinge and tighten. Armrest Width Adjustment You can change each armrest’s width independently of the other.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS Controller Position You can move the controller in toward or out away from the armrest, or change the position of the controller for either left-hand or right-hand use. MOUNTING SCREWS WARNING! Do not place the controller harness so that it can be pinched in the seat frame or the power base frame. To extend the controller: 1. Flip up the armrest so it is perpendicular to the floor. 2. Loosen the setscrew on the controller bracket. See figure 16. 3.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS Foot Platform Height Adjustment The foot platform height is easily adjusted to several different heights. FOOT PLATFORM BRACKET FOOT PLATFORM RETAINING PIN To raise or lower the foot platform: 1. Remove the quick release fasteners from the foot platform bracket. See figure 17. 2. Loosen the foot platform securement nut one-half turn. 3. Raise or lower the foot platform to the desired height. 4. Reinstall the quick release fasteners into the foot platform bracket and tighten. 5.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your power chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! If the 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 suppled with the battery charger for more information. To charge the batteries using an off-board charger: 1.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Quantum 600 is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Specialist. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. ! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
