IX. UP-KEEP
Your electric wheelchair requires regular maintenance. Some checks can be carried out
by yourself, others, by your dealer. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow
the maintenance instructions in this section, your wheelchair will work for years without
a problem. If you have any doubts about the up-keep or the operation of your wheelchair,
please contact your dealer or our after sales service.
9.1 HUMIDITY
Your wheelchair, like most electrical and mechanical equipment, is sensitive to external
conditions. Avoid humid environments. Direct or prolonged exposure to water or moisture
as this could cause electronic and mechanical failure. Water can corrode the electrical
components and the frame of the chair.
9.2 TEMPERATURE
In extremely cold weather, the battery may freeze. Unusual temperatures may cause many
components such as the charger and battery (batteries sealed with lead-acid or gel batteries)
to freeze. Temperatures above 55° C may slow your wheelchair.
9.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Avoid bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of your wheelchair to extreme conditions, like hot, cold or
humid environments
• Keep the controller clean
• Check all electrical connections, including cable and charger, and make sure they are all
tightly secured.
• If only the red LEDs are lit on the battery meter, you must recharge the batteries as
soon as possible, for 8 to 12 hours.
DANGER !
Never charge a cold or frozen battery, this may damage the battery
and risks explosion.
