Care and Maintenance
It is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You
can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from an authorized Provider.
Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as
scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you
have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation, contact an authorized Provider.
WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid
damp areas of any kind.
WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the
power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical
components to corrode and the chair’s frame to corrode. Power chairs should be
examined periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily fluid
exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated
immediately.
