Caring for Your Shoprider Powerchair
First Time Use
Prior to using your 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 battery 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 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.
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.
