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 Instructions
! 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 the safety instructions for the
proper use of the disinfectant before applying it to your new 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.
Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire
insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, 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 tire before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid 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.
