Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries
from the Quantum 1402. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! Improper storage of your power chair can result in rust to the frame and damage to
electronics. Store and maintain your power chair in a dry and clean condition.
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, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre
insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies are readily avail-
able through your authorised Pride Provider.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller 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:
1. Completely deflate the tyre if pneumatic.
2. Use a socket spanner to remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the axle. See figure 29.
3. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
4. Remove the screws that hold the rim halves together. See figure 30.
5. Remove the old tube and/or tyre and replace it with a new tube and/or tyre.
6. Reassemble the wheel.
