3.2 

Testing 

To ensure that the powerchair meets a minimum level of safety, the following 
procedure should be undertaken to ensure that the powerchair operates 
safely. This procedure should be carried out in a spacious environment and 
with due regard to any possible unexpected powerchair movement in the 
event of faulty installation. 

1. 

Raise the wheels off the ground using blocks under the 
powerchair frame so that the wheels can turn freely. 

2. 

Recheck all wiring, paying particular attention to polarities of 
batteries, motors and park brakes. 

3. 

Make the final connection to the Battery Positive (+) terminal and 
close the circuit breakers. 

4. 

Press the Power button to turn SHARK on. Ensure it turns on 
correctly.  

5. 

Press the Power button again to turn SHARK off. Ensure it turns 
off correctly. Press the power button again to turn SHARK back 
on. 

6. 

Ensure the horn is functioning correctly by pressing the Horn 
button. 

7. 

Turn each drive wheel by hand to check that the park brakes are 
engaged. The wheels should not move. 

8. 

Push the joystick slightly out of neutral and listen for the “click” as 
the park brakes disengage. 

9. 

Move the joystick in all directions and ensure that the wheels 
respond smoothly and in the correct direction. 

10. 

Release the joystick to neutral and listen for the click of the park 
brakes re-engaging. 

11. 

Turn off SHARK and remove the blocks from under the 
powerchair.  

12. 

Turn SHARK back on and turn the speed dial to the lowest speed  
setting (fully counter-clockwise). 

13. 

Sit in the powerchair and drive in all directions slowly, checking for 
precise and smooth control. 

14. 

Repeat at higher speeds. 

15. 

Drive the wheelchair on a 1 : 6 ramp and check for normal power, 
smoothness and parking.
