Yearly Checks

Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair

on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning 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 power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” 

WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be

damaged. Any corroded electronic connection should be replaced.

Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without

a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended

that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.

You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during

periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots develop-

ing on the areas of the tyres contacting the ground.

Disposal of Your Power Chair

Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact

your local waste disposal agency or Quantum Rehab Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair

packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and

polyurethane materials.

Cleaning and Disinfection

„

Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair.

Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.

„

If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on

your product before application.

WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning

agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or

premature deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.

WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power

chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp

cloth.

WARNING! 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.

Wheel Replacement

If you have pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a

solid tyre insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes, and wheel assemblies

are readily available through your Quantum Rehab Provider. 

WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by a Quantum

Rehab Provider or a qualified technician.

WARNING! Be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in

freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the five lug nuts, then remove the wheel. If any

further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
