Care and Routine Maintenance
The CentroGlide power wheelchair has been design for minimal service requirements
and will give years of service if used correctly.
Daily
Charge your batteries every night so your Powerchair is ready to go when you are.
Check first up each day that your chair drives as it should. If your wheelchair suddenly
drives or reacts differently, it generally means something is wrong and you should cease
using the wheelchair until it has been check by a Technician. It could be something as
simple as a flat tyre or it could be something more serious.
Weekly
1. Check tyre pressures and tyre wear or damage.
Recommended pressure
Front castor
206 kpa or 30 psi
Mid Drive wheel 206 kPa
Rear castor 206 kpa
These pressures can be reduced slightly for a softer ride.
⚠
Warning
Never use High Pressure inflators such as Service
Station guns unless regulated. These are fast flowing guns and could result in
over inflation or explode the tyre. Only use regulated air guns or hand pump.
2. Clean frame and vinyl parts with mild soapy solution.
3. Wipe upholstery with a clean damp cloth
4. Check all cables for possible damage and ensure all connectors are secured; i.e.
battery, motors and controller.
5. Check both front and rear castors for any excessive movement about the top or
bottom bearing mounts or pintle shaft. Contact your nearest Glide Products
agent for repair of this fault if it occurs.
6. Check function of electric brakes (When chair is turned on with motors
engaged and hand off the joystick, you should not be able to push the chair or
rotate the drive wheels) If wheelchair can be moved, do not operate wheelchair
and get a service technician to rectify immediately.
