Section 1

If the chair is not charging check the charging port (fig 
1.4.1) on the battery case. If the meter reads less than 12 
volts, check the corresponding pins on the controller (fig 
1.4.3) if the meter reads less than 12 volts, proceed to the 
next step.

1.4   Not Charging

A1.4.1

If the charging port is OK check that the battery fuse is in 
good condition.  With the batteries disconnected remove 
the fuse cap, inspect the fuse to see if the fuse is blown.  
To make sure the fuse is not blown, set the meter to ohms 
and measure the resistance across the fuse.  See (figure 
A1.4.2).  If the meter reads more than one ohm, change the 
fuse, or else proceed to the next step..
