General Maintenance and Lubrication • Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular basis. • Most lubricated components on the compact Powerchair are designed to be maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore, lubrication is not required for these components. However, the driving wheel axles and seat post should always have a very light coat of multi-purpose grease. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE! Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc. • It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assy) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the performance of the unit. • Check the Jiffy, and Jiffy11 batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life with the Jiffy, and Jiffy11, it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use and that the battery pack always be turned off when not in use. If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, loss of charge capacity and others. Please contact your provider for battery replacement and proper disposal. Note: Smartie battery technology is virtually maintenance free and has a significantly longer battery life. 4/27/2006 17 Batteries & Battery ChargingBatteries Jiffy/Jiffy11 The Shoprider Jiffy and Jiffy11 Powerchairs are designed to operate on two 12 volt/12Ah sealed lead acid (AGM or gel-cell type) aka SLA maintenance free batteries. For easy handling, the SLA batteries are contained within a battery-pack (Jiffy and Jiffy11 only). The life of the batteries may be affected by temperature, terrain, weight of user, driving methods, and care of batteries. The battery gauge (Refer to Figure 3) is a guide on the remaining charge of the batteries. Always turn Jiffy/Jiffy11 battery pack off after use or battery life will be reduced significantly and permanent battery damage may result voiding battery warranty. The active user will need to charge the batteries after using approximately 30% of battery capacity. As an inactive user, only using from once a week to every other day, the recharge point would be at 50% of discharge (Refer to Figure 9). For extended battery life, it is highly recommended that these guidelines be followed. You cannot over charge the batteries. *Keeping the batteries charged extends the life of the batteries* *Turn battery pack off after use at battery pack switch* SLA batteries should be kept fully charged at all times. They must not be left in a discharged state if the unit is not being used for some time or the batteries will be permanently damaged and will no longer hold a charge. The SLA batteries should be checked once a month and kept charged as needed. Typically SLA batteries have up to about 400 charging cycles.

Figure10 4/27/2006 18 Batteries & Battery ChargingBatteries Smartie The Shoprider Smartie PowerChair is the next generation Powerchair with new Envirofriendly battery technology. The Smartie’s battery, called Envirofriendly battery, is a phosphate based lithium iron battery that is inherently safe for the environment. The Envirofriendly battery has many features and benefits including: •Virtually zero maintenance over the long life of the battery, saving from high maintenance costs and wasted time •Lightweight, high performance, high energy (2 times energy at same size and three times energy at same weight as standard SLA batteries) •Outstanding charging cycles ability. Increased charging cycles at 80% depth of discharge and excellent deep discharge capability •No battery memory effect. No loss of capacity at partial depths of discharge/charge •No battery damage on full depth of discharge. Realize full capacity of battery: no wasteful over-sizing needed. Low capacity loss discharge rates increase. More usable energy at high discharge rates. No temporary voltage drop. Protects sensitive equipment from damage •Sleep mode (low self-discharge). No seasonal conditioning needed for long term storage. No sudden death syndrome. Linear and predictable battery fade is reliable down to 50% of original capacity •No explosive hydrogen gassing. No corrosion on battery terminals. No free electrolyte. No equalization charge needed. No wasted time babysitting batteries. Flat discharges curve over time. Maintains higher voltage/power even at end of charge •Environmentally friendly. Below EPA toxicity (TCLP). No recycling needed. Check and follow local laws governing proper disposal. **Note**Due to Smartie’s high energy battery, the VSI battery indicator will show...
