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 flat within
the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing rearward. 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 fluids 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. Visu-
ally inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your Quantum Rehab 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
Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.

Check for flat 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
Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem.

Weekly Checks

Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your Quantum Rehab
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 inflation. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indi-
cated on each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your Quantum Rehab Provider for replacement of the tube.

Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) 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 backwards, then left, and then right.

Monthly Checks

Check for drive tire wear. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.

Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.

Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the
bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.

Check the entire power chair for loose hardware and changes in the function or performance of the power
chair. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for service or repair.

Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.

Spring shocks and gas dampers should be visually checked for any abnormality, structure damage, or bent
rods. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.

Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power
chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future
complications.
