Your power wheelchair comes with electromagnetic brakes, i.e. an automatic magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as a fail-safe brake. The electro- magnetic brakes are automatic and work when the power wheelchair is ON but in a steady state (i.e. when the wigwag is released to the neutral position), even when the wheelchair is on a slope.
BATTERIES & CHARGER BATTERY We recommend that you use deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free for your power wheelchair. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries and are similar in performance. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR Your power wheelchair is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized vehicle it requires routine maintenance. To keep your power chair for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend you follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled. DAILY CHECKS 1.
