Introduction

The PowerStroll is designed as an aid to a

wheelchair attendant providing power to

aid pushing in otherwise strenuous

situations such as up steep hills, etc.

The PowerStroll is designed to work in

conjunction with most wheelchairs with seat

widths between 16” and 20” (40cm – 50cm).

The PowerStroll will also fit some narrow

width wheelchairs such as Drive Medical’s

Lightweight Aluminium.

The PowerStroll is to be controlled by an

attendant with a manual wheelchair and

user up to a combined weight of 18 stone

(115kg).

The PowerStroll uses a 12V 20ah battery,

and has a range of up to ten miles between

charges.

The PowerStroll is manufactured by Drive

Medical Ltd and is CE marked. Drive

Medical Ltd is an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485

certified Medical Device Manufacturer.

Safety Procedures

The PowerStroll must not be used solely by

the wheelchair user under any

circumstances.

Ensure the PowerStroll is installed as far to

the rear of the wheelchair as is comfortable

for the attendant to do so.

Operate the PowerStroll at a speed that is

both comfortable for the operator and

wheelchair user.

When connecting / disconnecting the

battery from the motor or the charger make

sure both the power to the charger and

PowerStroll handcontrol are switched off.

Ensure the PowerStroll is secured in transit.

It is also recommended that the battery is

disconnected.

Ensure that the battery is charged only with

the battery charger supplied with the

PowerStroll. Using another battery charger

may cause damage or injury.

Whilst the PowerStroll has been EMC

tested, it may be susceptible to certain

types of electromagnetic waves. Avoid

close proximity to mobile phones,

commercial broadcast towers and

emergency services’ radios. Other

household appliances are not known to

pose any such risk. If involuntary movement

occurs, switch off the PowerStroll and

report this to your dealer.

The PowerStroll should not be used when it

is snowing or during heavy rain. This may

cause damage to the PowerStroll. The

PowerStroll should not be exposed to damp

conditions or direct sunlight.

Note: Wheelchairs fitted with attendant

cable brakes. On such wheelchairs, the

attendant brake levers should be removed

prior to fitting. If the attendant brakes do

not have a separate parking brake facility,

then parking brakes should be added to the

wheelchair.

Ensure that the screws are sufficiently tight

and do not rotate on the tubing. Ensure that

the hole on each bracket is horizontal and

level with each other.

3. Powerpack Installation

end of the powerpack. Slacken the other

tristar knob on the bar and insert one end of

the bar in to the bracket (as shown above).

shown above)

Connect the red and black connector on the

battery pack to the red and black connector

on the powerpack (as shown above)

5. Final Connection

the underneath of the handset (as shown

previously).

Place the top loop of the lift-up strap around

the opposite push handle to the handset.

Disassembly and Transportation

1. Switch the PowerStroll off at the ignition.

2. Disconnect / unclip the powerpack

connector from underneath the handset.

3. Remove the lift-up strap from the push

handle.

4. Disconnect the red and black connector on

battery pack from the red and black

connector on the powerpack. Lift out of the

battery tray using the handle.

5. Slacken the tristar knobs and slide the

telescopic bar inwards to remove the

powerpack from the wheelchair.

Notes:

The battery supplied with the PowerStroll is

classified as safe for air travel by compliance

with IATA special provision A67.

The battery pack has a fabric handle to make

it easy to carry.

Battery Charging and Care

Follow the procedure below step by step:

1. Turn the power switch to (OFF)

2. Disconnect the red and black connector on

battery pack from the red and black

connector on the powerpack. Lift out of the

battery tray using the handle.

3. Plug the charger’s power cord into the

mains.

4. Plug the charger’s red and black connector

into the red and black connector from the

battery pack

5. Switch on the plug socket.

6. The charger’s LED will illuminate orange to

indicate the batteries are charging. The

charging duration is about 8 hours. To

ensure optimum performance a 12-hour

charge is recommended.

PowerStroll Owner’s Handbook Page 5 of 8 Part Code: Z24002 (Iss 02/12)

1. The orange LED will turn green when

charging is complete.

2. Turn off the charger, disconnect the power

cord and the round plug from the battery

pack.



Suggestion

1. Do not disconnect the charger cord

if charging is not completed. The

battery life will be seriously

shortened or decayed if the

battery is repeatedly used without

being fully charged. Therefore be

sure to charge the battery fully

every time.

2. Always complete the charging until

the LED light turns green. NEVER

stop charging before it is complete.

3. When fully charged, the battery

charger will still trickle charge the

battery to ensure optimum range.

4. If you do not use your powerpack

for a long time, it should be

charged at least every week to

keep the battery in a fully usable

condition.

5. The ambient temperature will

affect charging time. Charging time

will be longer in the winter.

6. After charging, do not leave the

charger socket plugged in to the

scooter, as this will cause a power

drain on the powerpack and

temporarily reduce its range.

7. The batteries carry a twelve-month

manufacturer's warranty. This

warranty only covers issues relating

to manufacturing faults, and not

faults relating to failure to recharge

the batteries as instructed above.



Attention: Please follow the rules below

to avoid accidents while charging.

1. Only use the supplied charger, and

recharge the battery to its full

capacity every time. You may

damage the battery if you use a

charger which is not to the correct

specification.

2. Never disassemble or modify the

charger.

3. Please charge in a well-ventilated

space where there is no direct

exposure to the sunlight. Do not

charge in surroundings where it is

humid, raining or dewy.

4. Do not charge in temperatures less

than -10°C or higher than +50°C as

the charger may not work well &

batteries may become damaged.



Warning

1. Keep away from flammable objects

while charging as this may lead to

fire or battery explosion.

2. Do not smoke while charging as the

battery may release hydrogen gas.

Always charge your battery in a

well-ventilated space.

3. Never connect or disconnect the

plug or cord with wet hands whilst

charging. Do not connect or

disconnect the plug or cord when

they are wet, it may lead to electric

shock.

Charger

The charger supplied has an LED which changes

colour depending on its status:

If the LED is lit ORANGE then the charger is

switched on and charging

If the LED is lit GREEN then the charger is

switched on and has finished the bulk of its

charging and the batteries can be used. However,

we recommend that you leave the charger

charging for a couple of hours after the green

LED has lit. This will maintain and probably

increase the capacity of your batteries.

The LED will also illuminate GREEN if the charger

is switched on but not connected to the

batteries.

Batteries

Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures

below -10º or above 50ºC when charging or

storing.

The batteries are maintenance free and there is

no need to inspect the battery liquid or refill with

water.

You are required to charge the batteries on a

regular basis. Even if the powerpack is not used,

it should be charged at least once a week.

The battery pack contains one 12V 20ah batteries.

The battery supplied with the PowerStroll is

classified as safe for air travel by compliance with

IATA special provision A67.

PowerStroll Owner’s Handbook Page 6 of 8 Part Code: Z24002 (Iss 02/12)

Charging the Batteries

Using the charger supplied, the charging duration

is about 8 hours.

However, to ensure optimum performance we

recommend a 12-hour charge.

We also recommend that the batteries are

not charged for more than 24 hours.

Operating the PowerStroll

Reversing. The PowerStroll comes with a lift-

up strap to allow the wheelchair to reverse.

Lift up the PowerStroll with the strap and

hook the second loop around the push

handle. Please note that failure to lift up the

PowerStroll when reversing may cause the

pack to flip over.

Maximum Speed. Always set a maximum

speed which you are comfortable walking

with.

Pushing the Wheelchair When Not In Use.

We recommend that the powerpack is

restrained with the lift-up strap when not in

use.
