Caring for Your Shoprider Trooper Powerchair

First Time Use

Prior to using your Trooper Powerchair for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and life.

Tires

Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry about tire air-pressure.

General Maintenance and Lubrication

ƒInspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular basis.

ƒMost lubricated components on the Trooper Powerchair are designed to be maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore, lubrication is not required for these components. However, the driving wheel axles and seat post should always have a very

light coat of multi-purpose grease.

DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!

Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc.

ƒIt is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assy) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the performance of the unit.

ƒCheck the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use and that the battery pack always be turned off when not in use. If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, loss of charge capacity and others. Please contact your provider for battery replacement and proper disposal.

ƒActive users: Charge daily

ƒOccasional users: Charge your battery before any outing and always after active use.
