VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
! 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 inward, toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the
correct wiring layout.
! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
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. Visually inspect the
boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.
! Visually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your authorized
Pride Provider if there is a problem.
! Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power pod. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride
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. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an
authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.
! Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly.
To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position, and power the unit back on. If a
problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
! Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet 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 that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as necessary. See
V. “Comfort Adjustments.”
! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
! Check for drive tire wear. See your authorized Pride 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 authorized Pride Provider for repair.
! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your power chair
is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
