CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY CHECKS
l
Disconnect and inspect the joystick/controller harness from the electronics tray. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized
Pride provider if necessary.
l
Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
l
Check for proper tire inflation; there should be 30-35 psi in each tire. If a tire will not hold air, replace the tube.
l
Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly.
l
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your
power chair.
To check the brakes:
1.
Turn on the controller and set the speed adjustment to the slowest setting.
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.
NOTE: Your power chair may move when performing this test. Immediately release the joystick. You must be
able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement.
MONTHLY CHECKS
l
Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you are operating your power chair; adjust them as necessary.
l
Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
l
Check for drive tire wear. See an authorized Pride provider for repair.
l
Check the rear casters for wear. Replace as necessary.
l
Check the rear forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or the bearings may need
to be replaced. See an authorized Pride provider for repair.
l
Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material such as hair, food, drink, etc.
YEARLY CHECKS
Take your power chair to an authorized Pride provider for yearly maintenance. This helps to 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.
See “Batteries and Charging.”
CAUTION! If you fail to store the unit under the above conditions, the frame can rust and the electronics can be
damaged.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Never hose off your Jet 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.
CAUTION! 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.
TIRES AND TUBES
If your Quantum Dynamo ATS is equipped with pneumatic tires, you
should check the air pressure at least once a week. This prolongs the
life of your tires and helps to ensure the proper operation of your chair.
If you have a flat tire, replace the tube. Replacement tires and tubes are
readily available through the provider where you purchased your power
chair.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before attempting
repair!
