TIRE/WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you may replace
the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you
must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes,
and wheel assemblies are readily available through your authorized
Pride provider.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the
controller's power is turned off and the power chair is
not in freewheel mode before performing this proce-
dure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before at-
tempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both
solid and pneumatic tires:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely deflate it before
removing the wheel.
4. Use a socket wrench to remove the drive wheel nut from the
center hub of the wheel. See figure 28.
5. Pull the wheel off the axle.
6. Remove the old tube from the pneumatic tire and replace it with
a new tube.
7. Slide the wheel back onto the shaft.
8. Reinstall the drive wheel bolt into the center hub and tighten.
9. Inflate the pneumatic tire to
30 - 35 psi.
Yearly Checks
Take your Jet to your authorized Pride provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your Jet is function-
ing properly and helps prevent future complications.
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the
batteries from the Jet. See IX. Batteries and Charging.
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit under the above conditions, the frame can rust, and the
electronics can be damaged.
Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION! Never hose off your Jet or place it in direct contact with water. Your Jet has a clear-
coated, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
CAUTION! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
