Care and Maintenance

Your power chair 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. 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 your 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 joystick 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 or Gel-Cell).

General Guidelines

 Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the

joystick.

 Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme

conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 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 the tire.

Make sure your tires are inﬂated to the psi/bar/kPa air

pressure rating indicated on the tire for pneumatic

tires. Do not under inﬂate or over inﬂate 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 area of the

tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause

your power chair to skid.

 All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They

require no subsequent lubrication.

 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 rearward.

Refer to the battery wiring label 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.
