!All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.

!The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance.

!Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery boxes and battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.

WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.

Daily Checks

!With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.

!Visually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.

!Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.

Weekly Checks

!Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power pod. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.

!Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.

!Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an authorized Pride Providerforreplacementofthe tube.

To check the brakes:

1.Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.

2.After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.

3.Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.

Monthly Checks

!Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as necessary.

!Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.

!Check for drive tire wear. See your authorized Pride Provider for repair.

!Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.

!Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings replaced. See your authorized Pride Provider for repair.

!Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.

Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
