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 controllers 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.
