Monthly Checks
n 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.”
n Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
n Check for drive tyre wear. See your Quantum Rehab Specialist for repair.
n Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
n Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings
replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Specialist for repair.
n 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 your Quantum Rehab Specialist for yearly maintenance. 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.
Cleaning Instructions
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.
Tyre/Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre,
replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre
insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly.
Replacement tyres, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily
available through your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be
sure that the controller’s power is turned
off and the power chair is not in freewheel
mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tyre
before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair
for both pneumatic and solid tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely
deflate it before removing the wheel.
