WARNING! 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.
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any
kind.
CAUTION! Direct exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction
electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the
chair’s frame to rust.
Should your power chair come in contact with water:
1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a dry towel.
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
4. If you find any inconsistencies, take your power chair to an authorized Pride provider.
Temperature
Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power
chair between the temperatures of 18° F and 122° F.
n In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends
on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).
n Temperatures above 122° F may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed is a
safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.
See VIII. “Operation.”

Corrective Maintenance

If the battery condition meter does not light up when you turn on the power:
n Check the harness connections. Make sure they are tight.
n Check the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.
n Check the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers are
available at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the directions that
come with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If your power chair
still does not power up, contact your authorized Pride provider.

Battery Replacement

The batteries on your power chair are located inside battery boxes, in the power base. See figure 4. For information on
how to reconnect the batteries, refer to the battery harness decal which is located inside each battery box. See figure 31.
