Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to an authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance. 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.
Cleaning Instructions
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.
Tire/Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid
tire insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assem-
blies 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 procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before attempting 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.
5. Pull the wheel off the axle.
