Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a daily basis. 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.”

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

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.

You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.

Disposal of Your Power Chair

Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyure- thane materials.

Cleaning and Disinfection

„Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.

„If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your product before application.

WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.

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

WARNING! 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.

Wheel Replacement

If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.

WARNING! Be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
