VI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Sparky is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks.
You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your Quantum Rehab Provider. Preven-
tive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can
help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power
chair’s care or operation, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas
of any kind.
WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the
power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause
electrical components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust. Power chairs should
be examined periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily
fluids exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or
treated immediately.
Should your power chair come in contact with water:
1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider. Power chairs that
are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and
electronic components may need to be replaced frequently.
Temperature
Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your
power chair between the temperatures of -8°C/18°F and 50°C/122°F.
In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze
depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or
Gel-Cell).
Temperatures above 50°C/122°F may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced
speed is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical
components.
General Guidelines
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
Do not remove the controller guard, if equipped. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if any maintenance
is required.
Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold or moisture.
Keep the controller clean.
Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
WARNING! Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated
on each tire. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tiretires. Low pressure may result in loss of
control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.
Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the
tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.
