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

νCheck for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 – 35 psi in each pneumatic tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an authorized Pride provider for replacement.

νCalibrate the joystick if you detect a noticeable difference in performance 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 your authorized Pride provider.

νCheck 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 of your power chair to the lowest setting.

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 testthree times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.

Monthly Checks

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

νCheck for drive tire wear. See an authorized Pride provider for repair.

νCheck the casters for wear. Replace them as necessary.

νCheck the rear 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.

νKeep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, and 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 VIII. “Batteries and Charging.”

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