MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power wheelchair is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized vehicle it
requires routine maintenance. To keep your HP7RTL for years of trouble-free operation, we
recommend you follow the following maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1. With the controller turned OFF, perform a joystick check. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and
that it returns to center when you release it. Visually inspect the rubber boot around the base of the
joystick for damage. Do not handle or try to repair it.
2. Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or have any
exposed wires.
3. Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries need to be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Inspect the connections by disconnecting the controller and charger harnesses from the electronics
connector housing. Look for signs of corrosion.
2. Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power wheelchair. Do not
over tighten any screws.
3. Check for proper tire inflation. Your power wheelchair comes with standard flat-free solid tires. If
your power wheelchair comes with optional air tires, make sure to maintain the pressure of the tires
between 30-35 psi.
4.
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of
clearance around your power wheelchair.
To check the brakes (your power wheelchair 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 joystick forward until you hear the parking brakes click then
immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each parking brake operate within a few
seconds of joystick release
→Repeat this test of the brake for the back, left and right joystick positions
