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.

!All wheel bearings are prelubricated 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 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 an 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 an 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 base. Look for corrosion. Contact an 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.

!Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position, and power the unit back on. If a problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact an authorized Pride Provider.

!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 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 for drive tire wear. See an 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 an 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 an authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. This helps 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 the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
