Caring for Your Shoprider Trooper Powerchair
First Time Use
Prior to using your Trooper Powerchair for the first time, you must
charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures).
Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely
prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and life.
Tires
Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry
about tire air-pressure.
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 Trooper 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.
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
assy) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned
occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the
performance of the unit.
Check the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life
it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged
after each use and that the battery pack always be turned off
when not in 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.
Active users: Charge daily
Occasional users: Charge your battery before any outing and
always after active use.
