CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Compass™ is designed to require minimal maintenance. We recommend that you periodically check the following:

Tire Tread: Regularly visually inspect the tire tread. If the remaining tread is less than 1/32 of an inch, have your local Golden representative replace the worn tires.

Motor Brushes: Have your local Golden representative inspect the motor brushes once a year.

Joystick and Controller: Protect the joystick and controller from adverse weather conditions. Moisture will damage the controller and void your power chair’s warranty.

Battery Terminals: Regularly inspect the condition of the battery terminals. Make certain that they are not corroded. Also check to see that the terminals are securely tightened.

Cleaning: Use only a water-dampened soft cloth to clean the ABS shroud. The shroud has a protective coat that is very easy to maintain.

Do not use free-flowing water to clean your Compass™. Water and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can adversely affect your power chair and its performance.

Water, Rain, Sleet, and Snow

Water, in any form, will cause electronic malfunction or corrosion of the electrical components, connections, and the chair frame.

Temperature

♦At extremely low temperatures, the batteries of your power chair may freeze, pre- venting your Compass™ from operating.

♦At extremely high temperatures, your power chair may operate at slower speeds due to the controller’s thermal rollback feature that is designed to prevent damage to the motors and to the other electrical components of the chair.
