III. YOUR POWER CHAIR
Hammer Motor Package
Your power chair is equipped with two powerful Hammer motors. These are right angle motors capable of pro-
ducing one horsepower of peak output each. Follow the suggestions below to help ensure peak motor perfor-
mance.
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.
