CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Quantum 600 XL is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorised vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks.
You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Specialist. Preventive
maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that
your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or
operation, contact your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
WARNING! Prevent injury. Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of
any kind.
WARNING! Direct exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction
electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chair’s
frame to rust.
Should your power chair come in contact with water:
1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
Temperature
!
Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power
chair between the temperatures of -8°C (18°F) and 50°C (122°F).
!
In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a
number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).
!
Temperatures above 50°C (122°F) may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed
is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.
General Guidelines
!
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
!
Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.
!
Keep the controller clean.
!
Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
!
Make sure the drive tyres are inflated to 2.4 bar (35 psi) if equipped with pneumatic tyres.
WARNING! Overinflating tyres can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tyres.
!
Use a rubber conditioner on the tyre sidewalls to help preserve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tyres; doing so may make the
tyres slippery and cause your power chair to skid.
!
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.
