Shoprider Sena 888WNLS, User Manual

Storage and Use 

We recommend that your powerchair is stored in a dry environment, 
preferably covered and away from extremes of temperature and humidity. 
Avoid using the powerchair in rain or snow wherever possible and avoid 
leaving the powerchair in damp environments such as shower/bath rooms for 
prolonged periods of time. 

Patient Transfer 

Assistance maybe required depending on the limitations of the 
user. 

The powerchair must be turned off before transferring 

in or out of it. 

Place the footplate in the up position to enable the user to place 
their feet firmly on the floor and rise up from the seat. 

(Never 

stand on the footplate, as this will cause the powerchair to 
become unstable.) 

The armrest should only be used as a support and not a lever to transfer from 
the powerchair. To make a side transfer flip the armrest back out of the way 
and slide off the seat. In all these movements please seek assistance. 
 

Batteries and Battery Charger 

Batteries 

The powerchair

is supplied with two, maintenance free, sealed lead acid AGM 

batteries. These are fitted under the seat on the scooter. 
Battery performance can be affected by low temperatures, rough terrain and 
the weight of the user. Your battery gauge is a guide only on the level of 
charge remaining in the batteries. 
An active user can use 30% of the battery capacity or more per day. 
An inactive user may only use 50% of the battery capacity in a week. 
 

 
Battery Charger 

Charge the batteries completely (8-12 hours) prior to first use. 

Batteries supplied with your powerchair are specially designed for use on 
powerchairs and scooters and require an automatic battery charger. These 
chargers have an electronic switch that terminates the charge when the 
batteries are full. 
The battery charger is a 5-amp switch mode type off board. The charger is 
able to read the level of charge in the batteries and will switch off when the 
batteries are fully charged. 
To charge the batteries plug the cable into the charge socket which is located 
under the front of the joystick controller. Plug the lead into a domestic power 
point and switch on.  
The orange light indicates that the batteries are receiving charge, this will 
change to green when the charging cycle is complete. The red LED indicates 
that the charger is connected. 
A flashing orange LED indicates an error. Please switch off and try again. 
Should the orange LED continue to flash contact your retailer. 

Caution: Always ensure the cable is fully unwound when charging as 
coiled cable carrying a current can generate heat.
