LiteRider PTC_Owner’s Manual Rev A_121911
IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Golden LiteRider PTC is virtually maintenance free. All of the bearings are permanently
lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required. There are, however, several
things that you can do to help keep up the appearance and maintain the performance of
your power chair.
We recommend that you periodically check the following:
Tire Tread: Regularly visually inspect the tire tread. If the remaining tread is less than
1/32 of an inch, have your local Golden representative replace the worn tires.
Joystick and Controller: Protect the joystick and controller from adverse weather
conditions. Moisture will damage the controller and void your power chair’s warranty.
CLEANING YOUR LiteRider PTC
Tires
Clean the tires with ordinary kitchen-type cleaners and a damp cloth. Do not use solvents
on the tires. Solvents can cause the tire material to break down or become too soft.
Body
• Clean the body of your power chair with a damp cloth. Do not hose down your scooter!
Dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Use cool water mixed with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils.
• Buff by hand with a soft cloth.
Vinyl Seat
Clean with a mild soap or mild detergent and a damp cloth. A vinyl cleaner may also be
used.
Do not use free-flowing water to clean your LiteRider PTC. Water and
extreme temperatures are the main elements that can adversely affect your power chair and
its performance.
Water, Rain, Sleet, and Snow
Water, in any form, will cause electronic malfunction or corrosion of the electrical
components, connections, and the chair frame.
Temperature
♦ At extremely low temperatures, the batteries of your power chair may freeze, preventing
your LiteRider PTC from operating.
♦ At extremely high temperatures, your power chair may operate at slower speeds due
to the controller’s thermal rollback feature that is designed to prevent damage to the motors
and to the other electrical components of the chair.
