Storage
Your Go-Chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the
batteries from the Go-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.
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 Go-Chair to raise it off of the ground during periods
of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tires contacting the ground.
Disposal of Your Go-Chair
Your Go-Chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your
local waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of travel 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 Go-Chair. Avoid
using products that may scratch the surface of your 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 travel chair finishes.
WARNING! Never hose off your travel chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your travel 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 your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you must
replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement wheel assem-
blies are readily available through an authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! The wheels on your travel chair should
only be serviced or replaced by an authorized
Pride Provider or a qualified technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the power to the
controller is turned off and the travel chair is not
in freewheel mode before performing this
procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the
center lug nut and washer, then remove the
wheel. If any further disassembly is required,
deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
