MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power wheelchair is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized
vehicle it requires routine maintenance. To keep your P20RTL/P20RT for years of trouble-free
operation, we recommend you follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1.
With the controller turned OFF, perform a joystick check. Make sure it is not bent or
damaged and that it returns to center when you release it. Visually inspect the rubber
boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Do not handle or try to repair it.
2.
Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or
have any exposed wires.
3.
Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries need to
be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Inspect the connections by disconnecting the controller and charger harnesses from
the electronics connector housing. Look for signs of corrosion.
2. Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power
wheelchair. Do not over tighten any screws.
3. Check for proper tire inflation. Your power wheelchair comes with standard flat-free
solid tires. If your power wheelchair comes with optional air tires, make sure to
maintain the tire pressures between 30-35 psi.
4. Check the brakes
Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power wheelchair
After one second, check the battery condition meter and make sure that it remains on,
Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes clicks. 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 backward,
then left, and then right.
