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. We provide
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
Quantum Rehab 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. We recommend 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 “Care and Maintenance.”
„„ Check battery charge. See “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 Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.
Your Power Chair

The Q6 Series Power Chair
Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat and the power base. Typically, the seat assembly
includes the armrests, seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes two motor/brake
assemblies, two drive wheels, four caster wheels, two batteries, and wiring harnesses. See Identification
Key (pages 4-5) and figure 1.
Electrical Components
The electrical components consist of the controller assembly, the batteries, and the motors. The
batteries, motors, and controller power module (if equipped) are located on the power base assembly.
The controller is located on the seat assembly. Connectivity between the controller and the motors,
batteries, and the battery charger is provided by one or more wiring harnesses. See figure 1.
Controller Harness Connector: The controller harness connector is where the controller plugs into
the power base. Each controller uses a different type of harness. Regardless of which type of controller
is used, the harness must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to drag on the floor.
Motor Connectors: This is where the controller connects to the motors.
Battery Connector: This is where the controller connects to the batteries.
Controller Power Module: This enables the controller to communicate with the batteries and the
motors.
Main Circuit Breaker (located on the rear main frame): 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 Quantum Rehab Provider.

Batteries and Charging

Batteries and Charging
The Q6 Series uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and
maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle
batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance
to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle
a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after
handling.
WARNING! Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if you have any questions regarding
the batteries in your power chair.
PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amphour (Ah) capacity. Refer to specifications table and in the manual supplied with the
battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
Charging the Batteries
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. It is designed to
optimize your power chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily.
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary,
properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged
plug access.
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the
charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.
PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while
the batteries are charging. Quantum Rehab recommends that you do not charge the
batteries while the power chair is occupied.
MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual
supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep
the power chair and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or
sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! You must recharge the power chair batteries with the supplied off-board
battery charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each
use. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does
not appear to be working correctly, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during charging.
Avoid skin contact and do not place on surfaces that may be affected by heat.
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to
insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use,
then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger
is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust
to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual
supplied with the battery charger for more information.

To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
1. Position your power chair next to a standard electrical
outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the power
chair is in drive mode.
3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/
programming socket on the controller. See figure 18.
4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.
WARNING! The LED lights on the charger indicate
different charger conditions at various times:
charger power on, charging in progress, and
charging complete. If the LED does not indicate that
charging is complete within 24 hours, unplug the
charger from the outlet and contact your Quantum
Rehab Provider. Refer to the manual supplied with
the charger for a complete explanation of these
indicators.
Figure 18. Battery Charger
5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the electrical outlet and
then from the controller.
Battery Break-in
To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its
peak performance level.
2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too
far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.
3. Give the batteries another full charge of at least 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again.
The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.
4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended
period.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the charger work?
The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it to
24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the
battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches
full charge, the charger does not work as hard to complete the charging cycle. When the battery is fully
charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge
but does not overcharge the battery.
Can I use a different battery charger?
You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge
the batteries. We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).
NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to
nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.

How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power
chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
„„ Daily Use
If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using
your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is
recommended that you charge the batteries at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. We recommend that
you charge the batteries for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging
is complete.
„„ Infrequent Use
If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at
least once per week for at least 24 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to
the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. We recommend charging
your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance
and battery life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or
curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces,
curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below
are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge:
„„ Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.
„„ Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
„„ Limit baggage weight to essential items.
„„ Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
„„ We recommend charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve
battery performance and battery life.
What type of batteries should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell
are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifications table for more
information regarding the batteries used with your power chair.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell
batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickelcadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to
provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell
batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium
batteries.

We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s
specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Quantum and are promptly shipped with a full
charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial
performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends
the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).
It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient
temperature. More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain—then a full recharge)
to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long
life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep
your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply
discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing
unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.
How should I store my power chair and its batteries?
If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the
batteries at least once per week.
If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to
storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment. Avoid
temperature extremes, such as freezing and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a
frozen battery. A cold or frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.
What about public transportation?
AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles.
These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, allowing safe transportation on
aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the
carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s specific requirements.
What about shipping?
If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power
chair in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.
Care and Maintenance

Care and Maintenance
Your Q6 Series is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance
checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab
Provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section
as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If
you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid
damp areas of any kind.
WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the
power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical
components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust. Power chairs should be examined
periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily fluid exposure, or
incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated immediately.
Should your power chair come in contact with water:
1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to a Quantum Rehab Provider. Power chairs
that are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for
corrosion and electronic components may need to be replaced frequently.
Temperature
„„ Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always
keep your power chair between the temperatures of 18°F (-8°C) and 122°F (50°C).
„„ In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they
freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the
batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).
General Guidelines
„„
„„
„„
„„
„„
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.
Keep the controller clean.
Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire.
WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the
tire for pneumatic tires. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss
of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.
„„ Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the
tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

„„ All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
„„ The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car
wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance.
„„ Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit
flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing rearward. Refer to the battery wiring label
for the correct wiring layout.
WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress
of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including direct
exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for
signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
Daily Checks
„„ With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it
returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the
joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your Quantum
Rehab Provider if there is a problem.
„„ Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed.
See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.
„„ Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
„„ Inspect the seating system, armrests, and front riggings for loose hardware, stress points, or damage.
See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.
Weekly Checks
„„ Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your Quantum
Rehab Provider if necessary.
„„ Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not
overtighten any screws.
„„ Check for proper tire inflation. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure
rating indicated on each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your Quantum Rehab Provider for
replacement of the tube.
„„ Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) of
clearance around your power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the
joystick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick
movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.
Monthly Checks
„„ Check for drive tire wear. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
„„ Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
„„ Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or
have the bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
„„ Check the entire power chair for loose hardware and changes in the function or performance of the
power chair. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for service or repair.
„„ Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.

Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use
your power chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and
helps prevent future complications.
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing,
disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be
damaged. Any corroded electronic connection should be replaced.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and
limited service life. It is recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of
prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground
during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat
spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
Disposal of Your Power Chair
Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations.
Contact your local waste disposal agency or Quantum Rehab Provider for information on proper
disposal of power chair packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries,
neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.
Cleaning and Disinfection
„„ Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power
chair. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.
„„ If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for
use on your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or premature
deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.
WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power chair
has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.

