VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Storage
Your Z-Chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from
the Z-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 Z-Chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of
prolonged storage. This takes the weight off of the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of
the tires contacting the ground.
Disposal of Your Travel Chair
Your travel 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 travel 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 travel chair. Avoid using
products that may scratch the surface of your travel 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 your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you must
replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement wheel as-
semblies are readily available through an authorized Pride
Provider.
WARNING! The wheels on your power chair
should only be serviced or replaced by an
authorized Pride Provider or a qualified
technician.
WARNING! Be sure the power to the
controller’s is turned off and the travel chair
is not in freewheel mode before performing
this procedure.
