BATTERIES
Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key when the batteries are being charged and at all
other times except when the Super-Trac is being used.
If the key switch is left in the ON position, the batteries will discharge overnight and you will
not be able to use the Super-Trac the next day.
After using, always recharge the batteries before putting Super-Trac away. Charging the
batteries may take a long time so you must do this if you want to be able to use the Super-
Trac the next day. The batteries will last longer if they are charged on a regular basis.
If the Super-Trac is not to be used for a long time, make sure the batteries are fully charged
before Super-Trac is put away. Failure to do so could result in the batteries completely
discharging. This will shorten battery life.
If the Super-Trac is not being used the batteries should still be recharged at least once a
month, even if they are fully charged before the Super-Trac is put away.
RUBBER CRAWLER TRACKS
If any oil or slippery fluids gets on the tracks, it should be wiped off immediately.
If dirt or wax from the floor was build up on the tracks, clean with a cloth dampened with
warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use solvents or other strong cleaning fluids on the tracks. You could damage the
rubber and shorten track life.
Check for any cracks or wear and if you find any, stop using the Super-Trac immediately.
Check the track tension periodically and adjust using the procedures on the following pages.
SAFETY COMPONENTS AND SAFETY WARNING LABELS
Check the integrity of the seatbelt and wheelchair tie-down straps each time you use Super-
Trac. Ensure the anchor points are securely fastened and that there are no cuts or tears in
the strap material.
The safety warning labels are important references. If a label becomes damaged so that it is
no longer legible, it should be replaced. Replacement label kits are available.
