IX. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your power wheelchair requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel con-
fident in your ability to perform the maintenance listed below, you can schedule an inspection and
maintenance with your retailer.
• Make sure your battery pack is fully charged daily. See "Battery Charging".
• While turned off, check the joystick control daily for damage, and make sure it returns to the neu-
tral position. If any defects are observed, contact your retailer. Do not attempt to repair it yourself!
• Inspect the seating system, arms, and footplate daily for loose hardware, excessive wear, or dam-
age. If any defects are observed, contact your retailer.
• Regularly inspect your power wheelchair's tires for signs of wear.
• Regularly inspect all exposed harnessing and connections for wear, damage, and corrosion.
Have your retailer repair or replace any damaged harnesses or connectors.
• Keep the electrical components (charger and joystick control) free from moisture. If these items
do become exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before attempting to operate your pow-
er wheelchair again.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness, wear, and corrosion. If any of these are present, turn
off the power wheelchair and contact your retailer.
Be careful of pinch points and sharp metal parts (wear gloves).
• All wheel bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed. No additional lubrication is required.
We recommend that you check the following:
Tire Tread: Regularly visually inspect the tire tread. If the remaining tread is less than 1/32 of an
inch, have your local Golden retailer replace the worn tires.
Joystick Control: Protect the joystick control from adverse weather conditions. Moisture can dam-
age the controller and void your power wheelchair's warranty.
Cleaning: Clean the body of your power wheelchair with a damp cloth. Use a cool water mixed
with a mild soap to remove dirt and oils. Dry with a clean soft cloth. Buff by hand with a soft cloth.
Do not use free-flowing water to clean your
are the main elements that can adversely affect your power wheelchair and its performance.
