Cleaning Instructions
WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power
chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp
cloth.
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.
Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tyre insert, then
you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes and wheel assemblies are readily available through
your authorised Pride Dealer.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the
power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Inflate your tyres from a regulated air source. Do not use a high pressure hose to
inflate your tyres.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tyre before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both solid and pneumatic tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Remove the drive wheel nut and washers from the axle. See figure 30.
5. Pull the wheel off the axle.
6. Remove the screws that fasten the two rim halves together. See figure 31.
7. Remove the old tube from the pneumatic tyre and replace it with a new tube, or replace the entire solid wheel assembly.
8. Screw together the two rim halves.
9. Slide the wheel back onto the axle. Make sure the key is in the axle slot.
10. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washers onto the axle and tighten.
11. Inflate the pneumatic tyre to 2.4 bar (35 psi).
12. Remove the power chair from the blocks.
