! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain
its high-gloss appearance.
! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery
well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
Daily Checks
! With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral
position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the
boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorised Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
! Visually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut or has any wires exposed. See your authorised
Pride Dealer if there is a problem.
! Check for flat spots on solid tyres. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
! Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points or damage. See your authorised Pride Dealer if there is a
problem.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the controller battery door. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer if necessary.
! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
! Check for proper tyre inflation. There should be 2.4 bar (35 psi) in each tyre if equipped with pneumatic tyres. If a tyre
does not hold air, see your authorised Pride Dealer for replacement of the tube.
! Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance around
your power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electromagnetic brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You
must be able to hear each electromagnetic brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test
three times, pushing the joystick rearward, then left and then right.
Monthly Checks
! Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as necessary.
See V. "Comfort Adjustments."
! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
! Check for drive tyre wear. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.
! Check the castor wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
! Check the castor forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings
replaced. See your authorised Pride Dealer for repair.
! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
