Preparing the Motors

There is a brake on the wheelchair motors that we recommend be removed before assembly (the brake

is turned on by default and if you run the motors with the brake on you will burn the motors up). There

is also aluminum plate that needs to be removed. Follow these steps (If you selected to add encoders on

the motors, the brake has already been removed. Skip to step 5.):

Remove the six socket head screws holding the aluminum plate to the bottom of the motor. Remove the aluminum plate, it will not be used. Set the screws aside, these will be used to mount the motors to the chassis.

2. Mount wheels to wheel hubs using the provided hardware. Be sure to align the tread pattern on each tire in the same direction. Slide wheel/hub assembly onto the motor shaft and fasten with the provided M8 screw into the end of the motor shaft and two set screws into the side of the motor shaft.

3. Mount batteries by using battery brackets and provided hardware. The holes are pre-drilled to fit the brackets for qty. 4 35 Ah lead acid batteries. Screws and nuts are provided. If you ordered a different battery configuration, you’ll need to drill holes to mount them. Use foam for a snug fit. 4. The switch will need to be disassembled to mount it to switch bracket. To do so, first remove the screw that holds on the lever arm. The lever arm then slides off. Then remove one of the panel nuts.

5. To mount the bracket, you will need to drill holes in the top plate of the chassis. Place the bracket where you want to mount it (there is room behind the batteries) and mark the holes with a sharpie. If you are mounting the bracket behind the batteries as in the picture above, two of the holes will need to go into the tubing frame. For these two holes you have two options. You can drill and tap into the aluminum if you have a tap set (for ¼-20 tapped hole drill a 13/64 pilot hole).
