CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OTHER CORRESPONDENCES

1

Temperature

Some parts of the wheelchair are susceptible to temperature changes. Keep the 

wheelchair

 at a temperature between 18-70ºC.

The battery can freeze in extremely low temperatures. The exact freezing point of a battery depends on many factors including
its charge, consumption and composition.

High temperatures can reduce the speed of the wheelchair. Speed reduction is a safety built into the controller to help prevent
damage to the motor and other electrical equipment.

2

Storage

Electric wheelchairs should be stored in a dry place, free from extreme temperatures. Disconnect the battery from the power 
adapter during storage.

3

Cleaning instructions

Never pour water on the stroller or place it in direct contact with water.

Never use any chemicals to clean the vinyl seat as they can make the seat slippery or dry out. Use water and dry the seat
thoroughly.

4

When to contact the distributor.

The symptoms shown may indicate a serious problem with the wheelchair. If necessary, contact your distributor. When calling, 
please provide the model number, serial number, type of problem and error code, if available.

Engine noise

Frayed wires

Cracked or broken cables

Uneven tire wear

Steering problems

Bent or broken wheels

Unstable movement

Turned on but no response

EXTERIOR SURFACES

A rubber or vinyl conditioner may be applied to bumpers, tires and upholstery from time to time.

BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS

Make sure that the terminal clamps are tight.

The batteries must lie flat in the battery compartment.

The battery terminals should face the rear of the wheelchair.

WIRE HARNESSES

Check all cable connections regularly.

Check all cable insulation regularly, including the power cord, for wear or damage.

Ask an authorized dealer to repair or replace any damaged connector, connection or insulation that you discover before re-use.

ABS PLASTIC COVER

Left and right covers should be made of durable ABS plastic and coated with an advanced formula of urethane paint. A gentle 
application of car wax helps the cover maintain its high gloss.

ENGINE BRUSHES

The motor brushes are located inside the gearbox / motor unit. They should be checked periodically for wear by an authorized 
dealer.

AXIAL BEARINGS AND ENGINE ASSEMBLY

There is no need to lubricate these components as they are all pre-lubricated and secured.

WARNING! 

Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on a vinyl stroller seat, floor board, or tire tread. They will 

become dangerously slippery and cause personal injury and / or damage to the wheelchair.
