9. Maintenance

9.1 Maintenance
Your power wheelchair also requires routine maintenance like other
motorized vehicles. Some checks can be performed by yourself, but others
require assistance from your service agent. Preventive maintenance is very
important. If you follow the maintenance and checks in this section, your
wheelchair will offer you trouble-free operation for years. If you have any
doubt for your wheelchair's care or operation, please contact your service
agent.

9.1.1 Humidity

Your wheelchair, like most electrical and mechanical equipments, is
susceptible to external conditions. In any case, you should avoid the damp
environment. Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could
cause the wheelchair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water
can cause electrical components and the chair's frame to be corroded.

9.1.2 Temperature

●Some parts of your wheelchair are susceptible to temperature.
●In extemely cold temperature, the battery can be frozen.
●Temperature above 55°may cause your wheelchair's speed to be reduced.
9.1.3 General Guidelines
●Avoid beating the controller, especially the joystick.
●Avoid the exposure of your wheelchair for long time to extreme conditions,
such as hot, cold or moisture environment.
●Keep the controller clean.
●Check all electric connections, including the cable and connectors of the
charger, and ensure that they are all tight and secure.
●If only red LEDs on the Battery Gauge are lit, the batteries are almost out
of charge. You should recharge the batteries as soon as possible.
●The frame surface has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can
apply a light coat of car wax to make the surface keep a high gloss.
●Check all cables. Make sure they are in good condition and are not
corroded. The battery must be fully inserted in the end of the battery box.
●All wheel bearings are lubricated and sealed. There is no need to lubricate
them yourself.
●Check if there are loose parts for wheel hub, drive device, and chair itself.
If loose, tighten them in time.
