Cleaning Precautions

CAUTION! Never hose off your Pride LX or place it in direct contact with water. Your LX has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

CAUTION! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.

CAUTION! 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 dry 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 you find any inconsistencies, take your power chair to an authorized Pride provider.

Temperature

Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power chair between the temperatures of 18° F and 122° F.

νIn extremely cold temperatures, the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., sealed lead-acid or gel cell).

νTemperatures above 122° F may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components. See IX. “Operation.”

Tires

You should check your tires at least once per week. This will prolong the life of your tires as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. Look for cuts in your tires or uneven wear. If you have solid tires, you must replace the whole wheel. If you have pneumatic tires, you can replace the tire or the tube. Replacement parts are readily available at your authorized Pride provider.

WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before attempting repair.
