VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to an authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your power
chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, discon-
nect the batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can
be damaged.
Disposal of Your Power Chair
Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair
packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, and batteries.
Cleaning and Disinfection
! Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.
! If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury and product damage! Follow all safety instructions for
the proper use of the disinfectant before applying it to your product.
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 tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert,
then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily
available through your authorized Pride Provider.
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 tire before attempting repair!
