CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Quantum 600E is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Specialist. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation, contact your Quantum Rehab Specialist.

WARNING! Prevent injury. Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.

Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any kind.

WARNING! Direct exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust.

Should your power chair come in contact with water:

1.Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.

2.Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.

3.Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Specialist.

General Guidelines

!Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

!Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.

!Keep the controller clean.

!Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.

!Make sure the drive tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar) if equipped with pneumatic tires.

WARNING! Overinflating tires can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.

!Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.

WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

!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.
