Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries
from your power chair. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can
be damaged.
Cleaning Instructions
WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your
power chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean
with a damp cloth.
WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre insert, then
you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies are readily available through
your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the
power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tyre before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
WARNING! Power chair frame components can be heavy. Lifting beyond your physical ability to
do so can result in personal injury. Seek assistance from an attendant before lifting frame
components, or schedule repair at an authorised Quantum Rehab service facility.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Pry off the hub cap. See figure 26.
5. Use a socket spanner to remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the axle. See figure 26.
6. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
7. Remove the screws that fasten the two rim halves together. See figure 26a.
8. Remove the old tube (or solid insert) from the pneumatic tyre and replace it with a new tube (or solid insert).
9. Screw together the two rim halves.
10. Slide the wheel back onto the axle.
11. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the axle and tighten.
12. Reinstall the hub cap.
13. Inflate the pneumatic tyre to 2.4 bar (35 psi).
14. Remove the power chair from the blocks.
