Maintenance And Repair - Heartway Medical Products S12 User Manual

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized
vehicle it requires routine maintenance.
To keep your PF6 for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend you follow the
following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1. Visual check on the conditions of tyres.
2. Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries need to be
charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Your power scooter comes with standard pneumatic tyres. If your power scooter comes
with optional air tires, make sure to maintain the pressure of the tires between 30-35 psi.
MONTHLY CHECKS
1. Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or have
any exposed wires.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
1. Check the motor brushes. We recommended that your authorized dealer inspect the
brushes 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 scooter warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
Unscrew the motor brush caps. (See Fig 18)
Remove the brushes.
Inspect the brushes for wear. (See Fig 19)
Replace the brushes if necessary.
New Motor Brush
(Fig 13)
Inspect the state of the battery terminals every six months. Make sure that they are not
corroded and the connections are tight. Periodically apply a thin film of petroleum jelly on
the surface of terminals to guard against corrosion.
