MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any
motorized vehicle it requires routine maintenance.
To keep your TC-1 for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend you
follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1. Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed,
cut or have any exposed wires.
2. Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries
need to be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Check for proper tire inflation. Your power scooter comes with standard
flat-free solid tires. If your power scooter comes with optional air tires, make
sure to maintain the pressure of the tires between 30-35 psi.
2.
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at
least three feet of clearance around your power scooter.
To check the brakes (your power scooter may move slightly when performing this
test):
→Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
→After one second, check that the battery condition meter remains on condition.
→Slowly push the finger lever control forward until you hear the parking brakes
click. Immediately release the finger lever control. You must be able to hear
each parking brake operate within a few seconds of lever release.
→Repeat this test of the brake for the back positions
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
1.
Check the motor brushes. We recommended that your authorized dealer inspect
the bushes every six months, or sooner if your power scooter is not operating
smoothly. If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be
replaced or motor damage will result.
Warning! Failure to maintain the brushes could void the power wheelchair
warranty.
T
o inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1.Unscrew the motor brush caps. (See Fig 24)
2.Remove the brushes.
3.Inspect the brushes for wear. (See Fig 25)
4.Replace the brushes if necessary.
