General Maintenance and Lubrication
Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts,
castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular
basis.
Most lubricated components on the Powerchair are designed to be
maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore, lubrication is not
required for these components. However, the driving wheel axles
and seat post should always have a very
light coat of multi-purpose
grease.**NOTE** Never put grease or oil in the breather cap located
on the top of each worm gear.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!
Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc.
It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel
assembly) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned
occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the
performance of the unit.
Check the 6Runner’s batteries on a regular basis. For extended
battery life, it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully
charged after each use. If the batteries are weak, severely
discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit
including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, loss of
charge capacity and others. Please contact your provider for battery
replacement and proper disposal. Note: Charging your batteries
daily will enhance the life of your batteries. If the batteries are left
unattended for extended periods of time, it is recommended that
they be left in a fully charged state. Leaving your batteries in a
discharged state, or not charging them regularly will diminish the life
of your batteries and cause irreversible damage to your batteries.
