ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Your Pride Lift Chair is equipped with a low voltage DC
motor system that reduces the standard household
alternating current of 90V AC - 264V AC to direct cur-
rent (24/39V DC). The electrical components include
the external transformer, batteries, and hand control.
Keep these areas free from moisture at all times.

MECHANISM
(PINCH POINT)
External Transformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power to the lift chair. The trans-
former is equipped with an LED indicator, which shows green when power to the transformer is on.
The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that allow the transformer to be
mounted to the wall directly under the standard electrical outlet. The screws must be mounted to the wall stud
for security. Refer to “Appendix C” for a mounting diagram.
NOTE: Pride is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.
Batteries: Provide the power needed to return the lift chair from the recline position to the sit and/or lift position
in the event of a power failure. For those models equipped with a battery backup system, the batteries are
located inside the external transformer.
Hand Control: Contains the controls needed to operate the various functions of the lift chair. Refer to V.
“Operation” for more information. The hand control may be equipped with a quick-release connector, which
enables the user to detach the hand control from the chair, disabling all functions of the hand control.
WARNING! Keep all electrical components free from moisture at all times to prevent
shock and/or electrical hazard.
