VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect 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.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored without
a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended that
you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of
prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the
tyres contacting the ground.
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 authorised Pride Dealer 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! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or premature
deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.
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 tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre
insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies are readily avail-
able through your authorised Pride Dealer.
WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorised
Pride Dealer or a qualified technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel
mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut and washer, then remove the
wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
