2. Never put your power chair in freewheel mode while you are operating your power chair. THERMAL ROLLBACK Your Compass™ is equipped with a safety system. A microprocessor monitors the operating temperatures of the controller. In the event of excessive heat occurring in the controller, the controller will decrease the speed of your chair. This is done to reduce the load on the electrical system and allow the components to dissipate heat. The controller will automatically set the chair’s speed back to full normal when the operating temperature returns to normal levels. THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER The main circuit breaker is another safety feature incorporated into your Compass™. This device monitors the amount of current being drawn from the batteries when the chair is in use. When the motors are heavily strained and too high a current draw is being placed on the batteries, the main circuit breaker will trip and bring your chair to a stop. 25 Compass Owner’s Manual – Models # : GP600 SS, GP600 CC, GP601 SS, GP601 CC Revised 11/30/06 OPERATION Reset Button (circuit breaker) Figure 20 Reset Button If the main circuit breaker trips, please wait for approximately 1 minute and then push the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See figure 20. NOTE: Usually, the thermal rollback feature is more sensitive than the main circuit breaker. We recommend that you turn off the power to the chair and wait for five minutes when the chair suddenly loses speed or power. Doing so will allow the overheated electrical components to cool to their normal operating temperatures. SWING-AWAY DESK ARM Your Compass™ is equipped with a swing-away desk arm that provides you with the convenience of positioning your chair close to a work surface such as a table or desk. To swing the desk arm simply push on the side of the joystick until the joystick swings to the retracted position. See figures 21, 22, and 23. Figure 21 Figure 22 Figure 23 26 Compass Owner’s Manual – Models # : GP600 SS, GP600 CC, GP601 SS, GP601 CC Revised 11/30/06 BATTERY CHARGING You must use only the charger that is supplied with your Compass™. The use of any other charger on this power chair will void the warranty. Using unauthorized chargers may also result in severe damage to the batteries and/ or damage to the chair. Using the wrong charger may also be a fire hazard. Operational Range Depending on the use, the terrain, and the driving conditions, the batteries of your Compass™ will provide fifteen to twenty miles of operation (with the use of NF22 batteries). ¦ We recommend that you charge the batteries when necessary. Battery charge should be treated similarly to fuel in a car. You would not go on a long trip with fuel low or fill up when almost full. CHARGING THE BATTERIES Your Compass’s charging system is designed for your safety and for your convenience. Follow the steps below to recharge the batteries. 1. Position your Compass™ close to a standard wall electrical outlet. 2. Turn off the power on the joystick. 3. Remove the charger from the SEAT POCKET. See figure 24. 4. Insert the matching charger plug into the joystick’s charging socket that is located at the front of the joystick. See figure 25. 5. Insert the plug at the other end of the charger power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet. 6. Disconnect the charger power cord from the wall outlet and from the joystick charging socket when the batteries are fully charged. NOTE: The batteries will be fully charged in four to eight hours. A full charge is indicated when the green light on the battery charger side panel turns on and all 8 joystick LEDs are lit when joystick is turned on.

We recommend that you periodically check the following: Tire Tread: Regularly visually inspect the tire tread. If the remaining tread is less than 1/32 of an inch, have your local Golden representative replace the worn tires. Motor Brushes: Have your local Golden representative inspect the motor brushes once a year. Joystick and Controller: Protect the joystick and controller from adverse weather conditions. Moisture will damage the controller and void your power chair’s warranty. Battery Terminals: Regularly inspect the condition of the battery terminals. Make certain that they are not corroded. Also check to see that the terminals are securely tightened. Cleaning: Use only a water-dampened soft cloth to clean the ABS shroud. The shroud has a protective coat that is very easy to maintain. NOTE: Do not use free-flowing water to clean your Compass™. Water and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can adversely affect your power chair and its performance. Water, Rain, Sleet, and Snow Water, in any form, will cause electronic malfunction or corrosion of the electrical components, connections, and the ch...
