Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power

chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future

complications.

Storage

Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the

batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be

damaged.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored

without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is

recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper

performance.

You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during

periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing

on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.

Disposal of Your Power Chair

Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact

your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair

packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyure-

thane materials.

Cleaning and Disinfection

„

Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair.

Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.

„

If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on

your product before application.

WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning

agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or

premature deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.

WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power

chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp

cloth.

WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become

slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.

Wheel Replacement

If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire

insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are

readily available through your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized

Pride Provider or a qualified technician.

WARNING! Be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the power chair is not in

freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the

wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
