IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The Golden LiteRider PTC is virtually maintenance free. All of the bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required. There are, however, several things that you can do to help keep up the appearance and maintain the performance of your power chair.

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.

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

CLEANING YOUR LiteRider PTC

Tires

Clean the tires with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth. Do not use solvents on the tires. Solvents can cause the tire material to break down or become too soft.

Body

Clean the body of your power chair with a damp cloth. Do not hose down your scooter! Dry with a clean soft cloth.

Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils.

Buff by hand with a soft cloth.

Vinyl Seat

Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also be used.

Do not use free-flowingwater to clean your LiteRider PTC. 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, preventing your LiteRider PTC 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.
