The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain
its high-gloss appearance.
„
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery
well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
„
All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
Daily Checks
„
With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the center
when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do
not handle or try to repair it. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.
„
Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires exposed. Contact
your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
„
Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
Weekly Checks
„
Disconnect and inspect the wiring harnesses from the electronics tray. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized
Pride Provider if necessary.
„
Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
„
Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each pneumatic tire. If a tire does not hold air, see
an authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.
„
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance around
your power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be
able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times,
pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.
Monthly Checks
„
Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as necessary. See
V. “Comfort Adjustments.”
„
Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
„
Check for drive tire wear. See an authorized Pride Provider for replacement.
„
Check the rear casters for wear. Replace them as necessary.
„
Check the rear forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings
replaced. See an authorized Pride Provider for repair.
„
Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to an authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your power chair is
functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
