
Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the
tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.

The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help
it retain its high-gloss appearance.

Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit fl at within
the battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring
label for the correct wiring layout.
WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing
requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away
from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fl uids and
incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and
replace as necessary.
Daily Checks

With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to
the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage.
Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a
problem.

Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your
authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.

Check for fl at spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.

Inspect the seating system, armrests, and front riggings for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See your
authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.
Weekly Checks

Disconnect and inspect the controller harness and the charger harness from the power base. Look for corrosion.
Contact your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.

Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten
any screws.

Check for proper tire infl ation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
each tire for pneumatic tires. If a tire does not hold air, see an authorized Pride Provider for replacement of
the tube.

Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance
around your power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. 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 rearward, then left, and then right.
Monthly Checks

Check for drive tire wear. See your authorized Pride Provider for repair.

Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
