INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Store the charger in a safe location. The AirFold Powerchair has an overload protector built into the battery box. In the
event the battery or motor is overloaded, the overload protector will trip and cut off the power. This will reset after 1-2
minutes and allow use of the powerchair.
If you use your powerchair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished with the day's activities,
and leave it on the charge until you are ready to use the following day. After charging, unplug and remove the charger
from the mains socket and battery pack or powerchair. If there is a longer period of no use, it is recommended to
charge the battery every two months, and use it for more than 20 minutes. This may help preserve / extend the life of
the battery.
8.3 Folding and Unfolding
To fold the powerchair, release and hold away the clip based at the bottom of the backrest and push forward.
To unfold the powerchair, lift the backrest until the clip located at the bottom of the backrest locks into position with
an audible click.
8.4 Checking Before Use
It is important to check the functionality of the powerchair before the initial use to ensure its safe operation.
• With both of the motor lock levers set to manual, the powerchair should move freely when pushed by hand. With
both of the motor lock levers set to electric, it should not be possible to move the powerchair by hand.

• Gently press the joystick in any direction then check the battery indicator and powerchair speeds lights are illumi-
nated on the joystick controller.
