Maintenance and Additional Precautions:
•
Exceeding the weight limit recommendations on your wheel head will cause damage and void

150 pounds.
•
Ensure the pedal is fully depressed in the OFF position before turning the wheel ON or OFF.
•
Never leave a running wheel unattended.
•
Ensure the wheel is in Off position when not in use.
•
Forcing a wheel to stop while in motion can cause injury to person and damage the shaft and/
or the motor.
•
Children should always be supervised by an adult when using the Pacifica wheel. Keep tools
and small parts out of reach.
•
Never hose down your wheel or let it stand in water. To clean your wheel, use a damp sponge
or cloth and hand clean. Although Pacifica Wheels have a durable paint and modeled plastic
top, regular cleaning as prescribed will avoid excessive oxidation and corrosion. Always turn
wheel off when cleaning. Splash pan should be cleaned out regularly. Standing water in the
splash pan can drain into bearing housing and deteriorate the substrate where the wheel head
is attached.

•
Allow your motor to come to a complete stop prior to changing the direction of the wheel
