CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE POWERCHAIR
Wipe the powerchair as least once a
week with a damp cloth and dust the
powerchair and motors should they
require it.
TYRE WEAR AND PRESSURES
The powerchair may be fitted with
either pneumatic or solid tyres.
Make sure that the air pressure on
pneumatic tyres are checked regularly.
The correct air tyre pressures are stated
on the side of the tyres. The default
tyre pressure is 40 PSI.
Regularly check the tyres for signs of
wear such as significant scuffmarks
and reduced tyre tread.
OTHER ITEMS TO CHECK
Check the electrics on the powerchair,
especially the battery connections,
battery connections to the controller
and the controller connections to the
motor.
Check the upholstery for signs of wear,
tear and slackening. Failure to do this
could lead to a bad posture and
eventual discomfort.
Check the charger. If the fan on the
charger is not working whilst the
amber light is lit, do not use the
charger
as
this
may
lead
to
overheating.
There is a red LED present on the
charger to show operation. If this
LED does not illuminate the charger
is faulty.
BATTERY CARE
The batteries are maintenance free
and there is no need to inspect the
battery liquid or refill with water.
Recharge the battery to its full
capacity every time.
To ensure optimum performance and
longevity of your batteries recharge
them after every use. Do not fully
discharge the battery, as this does not
improve battery performance and will
reduce the life of your batteries.
The batteries carry a twelve-month
warranty which is conditional on the
batteries being used and recharged in
the correct way.
REGULAR SERVICING
The powerchair should be serviced
annually by an approved Drive
Medical service agent. A service log
should be filled in this book once the
approved service agent has completed
the service.
