IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
! 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 well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal 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
center 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 harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires exposed.
See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the electronics tray. 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.
! 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

necessary. See V. “Comfort Adjustments.”
! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
! Check for drive tire wear. See an authorized Pride Provider for repair.
! Check the rear casters for wear. Replace them as necessary.
! Check the rear forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the
bearings replaced. See an authorized Pride Provider for repair.
