!All wheel bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.

Daily Checks

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

!Visually inspect the controller and charger harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut, or have any wires exposed. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.

Weekly Checks

!Disconnect and inspect the controller and charger harnesses from the electronics tray. 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 will not hold air, see your authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.

!Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your power chair.

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 electromagnetic brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each electromagnetic 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 are operating your power chair. Adjust them as necessary. See VI. “Comfort Adjustments.”

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

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

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

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

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

Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to an authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. This helps to ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.

Storage

Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from your power chair. See VIII. “Batteries and Charging.”

WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
