disinfectant added, or car type upholstery 
cleaner. Ensure the upholstery is thoroughly dry 
before using the wheelchair.

To avoid possible damage to the Drive Motors, it 
is  recommended  by  the  Motor  manufacturers, 
that  the  Brushes  are  removed  and  inspected  for 
wear before the end of initial 12 months use.  
Refer to Figs.35 & 36, page 34 
NOTE: Failure to maintain the Brushes could void 
the warranty coverage on the Motors.

Battery Terminal 

Connections 

The  Main  Battery  Leads  should  be  checked  for 
clean  and  secure  contact  with  the  Battery 
Terminals.  A  thin  film  of  petroleum  jelly  on  the 
surface  of  the  Battery  Terminals  will  assist  with 
preventing corrosion. 
This will require removal of the Batteries. Refer to  
pages 22 and 23.

The recommendations listed in these tables are suggested for average use. 
For heavy users, the time values should be adjusted accordingly and allowances 
made for additional stresses in various areas. 
For assistance with any maintenance query on the Invicta wheelchair range, please
