! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery
tray, with the battery terminals facing forward, toward the front of the power chair. Refer to the battery wiring label for
the correct wiring layout. See figure 25.
! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain
its high-gloss appearance.
! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
Daily Checks
! With the controller system turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the
neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually
inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorised Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
! Visually inspect the joystick module cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut or has any wires exposed. See your
authorised Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
! Check for flat spots on solid tyres. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the joystick module from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorised Pride
Dealer if necessary.
! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
! Check for proper tyre inflation. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tyre. If a tyre does not hold air, see an
authorised Pride Dealer for replacement of the tube.
! Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly.
To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position and power the unit back on. If a
problem still exists with your joystick's performance, contact your authorised Pride Dealer.
! Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your
power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the unit and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be
able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times,
pushing the joystick rearwards, then left and then right.
Monthly Checks
! Check for drive tyre wear. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.
! Check the castor wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
! Check the castor forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings
replaced. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.
! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to your authorised Pride Dealer for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your power chair is
functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
