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.
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 Specialist for information on proper disposal of power chair packaging, metal
frame components, plastic components, electronics, and batteries.
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! Prevent personal injury and product damage! Follow all safety instructions for the
proper use of the disinfectant before applying it to your product.
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.
Tyre/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 whole wheel assembly. Replacement tyres, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily
available through your Quantum Rehab Specialist.
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 procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tyre before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid tyres:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tyre, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the wheel hub. See figure 35.
5. Pull the wheel off the axle.
6. Remove the screws that fasten the two rim halves together. See figure 36.
7. Remove the old tube from the pneumatic tyre and replace it with a new tube or replace the entire assembly if it is a solid tyre.
8. Screw together the two rim halves.
9. Slide the wheel back onto the shaft. Make sure that the key is in the axle slot.
10. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the wheel hub and tighten.
11. Inflate the pneumatic tyre to 2.4 bar (35 psi) if equipped with pneumatic tyres.
12. Remove the power chair from the blocks.
