brakes click. Immediately release the brake operating within a
few seconds of joystick movement.
4. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards,
then left, and then right. If either brake does not sound like it is
engaging, contact your authorised Pride dealer immediately.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that propel your power chair use carbon brushes.
The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor /
brake assembly that supply power to the motor. They are designed
to provide several thousand hours of operation. However, if the
brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor
may run poorly or not at all. If an inspection determines excessive
wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will
result.
CAUTION! Failure to maintain the brushes could
damage your motor/ brake assemblies and void
your warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the battery boxes.
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. There are two on each motor.
See figure 10.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear, such as black deposits on the brush contact
surface.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorised Pride
dealer.
