GENERAL INSPECTIONS
Always do a complete inspection on your chair if transporting and also after it has reached its
destination. If your controller becomes contaminated with food or drink, clean with damp cloth and
perform a complete check before operating.
The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance:
1. Tire Pressure:
Inflate the drive tires to 30 PSI. Do not exceed 35-PSI air pressure in any tire.
(pneumatic tires only)
2. Tire Condition and Tread Wear:
Use a rubber conditioner on the tires.
3. Battery Terminal Connections:
Be sure the connections remain tight and are not corroded.
Batteries must sit flat within the battery well area with the battery terminals facing inward toward
each other. Refer to the frame decal for a visual guide.
4. Wiring Harness:
Check for insulation damage, especially the battery charger cord. If this cord is
damaged, it should be replaced prior to the next use.
5. Plastic Cover:
The shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. It will retain its high gloss
with a light application of car wax.
6. Drive Wheel Bearings, Front Anti-tip Bearings, Rear Axle Bearings and Motor/Brake
Assembly:
These are all pre-lubricated, sealed and require no subsequent lubrication.
7. Motor Brushes:
The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly that
supply power to the motor. They are designed to provide many hours of operation but if they
become dirty with carbon deposits, the motor will run poorly or not at all. We recommend your
authorized dealer inspect them every six months or sooner if your LIBERTY runs inadequately. If
inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will
result. Eagle Note
:
Failure to do so could void the warranty.
8. The Joystick and Electronic Controller Assemblies:
Be sure to keep these areas free from
moisture. In the event these components are exposed to moisture, let them dry thoroughly before
attempting to operate the powerchair.
