Caring for Your Shoprider Powerchair

First Time Use

Prior to using your Powerchair for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and battery life.

Tires

Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry about tire air-pressure.

General Maintenance and Lubrication

ƒInspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular basis.

ƒMost lubricated components on the Powerchair are designed to be maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore, lubrication is not required for these components. However, the driving wheel axles and seat post should always have a very light coat of

multi-purpose grease.

DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!

Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc.

ƒIt is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assy) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the performance of the unit.

ƒIt is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use. If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, loss of charge capacity and others. Please contact your provider for battery replacement and proper disposal.
