Maintenance
Batteries
If the Bariatric Wheelchair Mover is not being used for an extended period of time, it
should be connected to the battery charger to check the battery level on a regular basis,
and placed on charge overnight if required. This will ensure the batteries are kept in
good condition.
The batteries are sealed and maintenance free. DO NOT attempt to open these
batteries. If the Bariatric Wheelchair Mover is not charged as above, the batteries may
be exhausted and have dropped below the charging threshold of the battery charger.
The supplied charger cannot begin to charge the batteries unless they have a small
amount of charge. If this occurs, contact Electrodrive or your local service agent.
A sign that the batteries need replacing is when they no longer hold charge.
Irregular charging may cause premature battery failure.
The battery can only be replaced by a qualified technician.
Drive wheel
To replace the drive wheel:
1.
Turn off the machine and remove the key.
2. Remove the covers.
3. Disconnect the motor and remove four counter sunk screws.
4. Lower the drive wheel assembly.
5.
Follow above instructions in reverse order to fit new drive wheel assembly.
Brakes
The park brake does not require regular maintenance. If the Bariatric Wheelchair Mover
is not remaining stationary when in the OFF position, contact Electrodrive or your local
service agent.

Motor brushes should be inspected every 12 months and replaced as required.
