Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to an authorised Pride provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your power chair is
functioning properly and helps prevent future complications.
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from
the power 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.
Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION! 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.
CAUTION! 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.
Tyre/Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre insert, then you
must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through your
authorised Pride provider.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller's power is turned off and the power chair is
not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tyre before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both solid and pneumatic tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Use a socket spanner to remove the drive wheel nut from the center hub of the wheel.
