Inspection & Maintenance
Your Powerchair, like any other electro-mechanical machine, will benefit from
regular servicing by your Shoprider dealer. You, too, can help keep your
Powerchair in tiptop condition by following simple guide to home maintenance.
CAUTION
: Only qualified technical people should carry out service work.
SEAT UPHOLSTERY:
A damp cloth and a mild soap will keep your seat and
backrest looking good. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as this will damage the
coating. Chemical cleaners can damage upholstery.
Ultra-violet light can also reduce the life of the upholstery coating material. This is
a normal ageing process, and cannot be guaranteed (see exclusion in the
Warranty terms section).
BODYWORK:
The bodywork on your Powerchair can be lightly washed with mild
soap and water. Auto polish can be used to keep the paint in pristine condition.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong detergents, as this will fade the color.
CAUTION:
Do not hose down your Powerchair. Water could be forced into the
electronics and cause permanent damage.
DO NOT
store your Powerchair in damp conditions. This may affect the
electronics if left for very long periods of time.
ELECTRONICS:
Servicing of the drive electronics and charger should only be
carried out by your local Shoprider service dealer. These units are sealed and
should not be opened.
BROKEN SEALS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
You will find that the distance that your Powerchair can travel will gradually
increase over the first few weeks of use, as the batteries reach their optimum
efficiency after approximately 12 cycles of discharge and recharge.
WARNING
1. Do not smoke or use an open flame while your batteries are being
charged.
2. Do no use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
