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 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 authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

Electrical Components

The electrical components are located either on or inside the power base. The main circuit breaker is located on
the front of the power base. The power module is located under the front cover. See figure 3.

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., 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 continue normal operation. If the main
circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

Power Module: Provides connection between the controller and the motors and batteries.

The GC3 control system supplied with your power chair has been factory set to operate within safe limits for
speed, acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability, and braking. The system is not programmable. Contact your
authorized Pride Provider with any questions regarding the operation of your power chair. All components, their
connections, and function are identical to the information supplied in the controller basic operating instruction
provided with your power chair. See figure 3.
