Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Your Joerns Chauffeur will give you years of safe and
dependable service in return for regular maintenance
and early attention to any developing problems. We
recommend the following maintenance program.
Should you use your Joerns Chauffeur often, you may
find it advantageous to perform this maintenance more
frequently.
Caution:
Disconnect the batteries before performing
any maintenance.
Every Day or as Needed:
1. Maintain the batteries’ charge.
2. Clean debris from the wheels and drive unit
assembly.
3.
Clean the Chauffeur with a damp cloth.
Once Each Month:
Check for loose connectors and any signs of unusual
wear. Replace worn components.
Once every Three Months:
1. Remove the plastic covers and check the wires for
wear, fraying or cracking.
2. Check the connectors for wear or cracking.
3. Examine the wheel and wheel assemblies for wear
or damage.
Lubrication:
All wheel bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated. Spray silicone lubricants may be used on
any other moving parts. Apply this lubricant whenever
there is “stickiness” in the moving parts.
Cleaning
Turn the power off. Use warm soapy water with a
damp cloth to clean your Joerns Chauffeur. Do not
pressure wash or hose off your Chauffeur. The water
may damage electronic components. Use damp cloth
only, when cleaning around electrical connectors and
components. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners
on the Joerns Chauffeur. Clean the wheel with a bristle
brush dipped in warm water.
