D. CIRCUIT BREAKERS
1. Notes:
Your Quickie/Sterling Melody has a circuit breaker on the battery case.
• In the unlikely event of a short circuit or heavy overload, all power to your chair will be shut off.
•
To reset your chair, depress the circuit breaker button located at the rear corner of the chair. A
few minutes wait is required before the circuit breaker will reset.
2. Repeated Shutdown:
If the chair continues to shut down after resetting, have it serviced by a supplier.
E. JOYSTICK ASSEMBLY
The standard VR2 joystick controls the chair’s performance. It consists of the following parts:
1. Speed Control or Drive Mode Selection Buttons (A and B)
To decrease the speed level depress button A. Or, when 1- 5 Drive modes are programmed, depress
button A to activate lower drive mode(s).
To increase speed level, depress button B. Or, when 1- 5 Drive modes are programmed, depress button
B to activate higher drive mode(s).
Speed level active, or Drive Mode selected, is indicated on display (C) by a series of five lights. One light
indicates slowest level/mode currently active, while five lights indicates highest level/mode currently
active.
2. Battery Charge Indicator (D)
• Green lights indicate that batteries are fully charged.
• Yellow lights indicate that batteries need recharging.
• When the lights stay in the red band, the batteries must be recharged.
3. On/Off Button (E)
Turning the chair on or off is accomplished by depressing button E.
4. Horn (F)
5. Joystick (G)
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and move the joystick in
the direction you want to go.
• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the motor locks, allowing the
chair to move.
•
The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral.
NOTE– If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the chair will come to a complete
stop.
• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a stop and the motor
locks will reengage.
• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time. This will conserve
battery power.
NOTE– Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor locks.
6.
Joystick Boot (H)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture to enter). If the
boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
F. MOTOR LOCK
Disconnect the motor lock when you need to manually push the chair
.
(For example, in an emergency, or if batteries fail).
1. Do not disengage motor lock unless power to the chair is off.
2. With the brake released, the chair will not operate and the battery charge indicator will
flash 9 bars rapidly (if power to the chair is on.)
3. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes in the free-wheel position.
4.
Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when motor locks are
disengaged.
