VII. 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 tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the
correct wiring layout.
WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress
of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including
direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently
for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
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 authorised Pride Dealer 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 authorised
Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
! Check for flat spots on solid tyres. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
! Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See you authorised Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer
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 tyre inflation. There should be 2.4 bar (35 psi) in each tyre. If a tyre does not hold air, see an
authorised Pride Dealer 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 authorised Pride Dealer.
! 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 rearwards, then left and then right.
Monthly Checks
! Check for drive tyre wear. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.
! Check the castor wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
! Check the castor forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings
replaced. See your authorised Pride Dealer 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 authorised Pride Dealer for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on
a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
