Care and Maintenance

The Kozmo and Kozmo Portable are sophisticated power

chairs. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine

maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks,

but others require assistance from a Quantum Rehab

Provider. Preventive 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 a Quantum Rehab Provider.

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.

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 ﬂuid 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 controller operation and the brakes before

using your power chair again.

4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to a

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 18°F (-8°C)

and 122°F (50°C).

 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).

General Guidelines

 Avoid knocking or bumping the controller.

 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.

 If your power chair is equipped, make sure pneumatic

tires are inﬂated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating

indicated on each tire.

Make sure pneumatic tires are inﬂated to the psi/bar/

kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire. Do not

underinﬂate or overinﬂate your tires. Low pressure may

result in loss of control, and overinﬂated tires may burst.

Overinﬂating tires can cause them to explode.

Do not use a high pressure hose to inﬂate your tires.

 Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help

preserve them.

Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread areas of the

tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause

your power chair to skid.

 All wheel bearings are prelubicated and sealed. They

require no subsequent lubrication.

 The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant

coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it

retain its high-gloss appearance.

 If your power chair has a body shroud with a glossy ﬁnish,

the body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant

coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it

retain its high-gloss appearance. If your power chair has

a body shroud with a matte ﬁnish, use ONLY products

developed for matte-ﬁnish paint. Do not use wax, detail

spray, ArmorAll®, or any product made for glossy paint.

Carefully choose the correct product to protect the

ﬁnish of your power chair’s shroud(s). ONLY products

developed for matte-ﬁnish paint should be used on

shrouds with a matte ﬁnish. Failure to follow this warning

may result in damage to the shroud’s matte paint ﬁnish.

 Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are

tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit ﬂat within

the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing inward,

toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring lable for

the correct wiring layout.

Even though the power chair has passed the necessary

testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should

keep electrical connections away from sources of

dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily

ﬂuids and incontinence. Check electrical components

frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
