MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power wheelchair is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any
motorized vehicle it requires routine maintenance. To keep your HP-1 for years of trouble-
free operation, we recommend you follow the following maintenance checks as
scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS
1. With the controller turned OFF, perform a joystick check. Make sure it is not bent or
damaged and that it returns to center when you release it. Visually inspect the
rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Do not handle or try to
repair it.
2. Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or
have any exposed wires.
3. Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries need
to be charged.
WEEKLY CHECKS
1. Inspect the connections by disconnecting the controller and charger harnesses
from the electronics connector housing. Look for signs of corrosion.
2. Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power
wheelchair. Do not overtighten any screws.
3. Check for proper tire inflation. Your power wheelchair comes with standard flat-free
solid tires. If your power wheelchair comes with optional air tires, make sure to
maintain the pressure of the tires between 30-35
psi.
4. Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least
three feet of clearance around your power wheelchair.
To check the brakes (Your power wheelchair may move slightly when performing
this test):
B
Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
B
After one second, check that the battery condition meter remains on.
B
Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the parking brakes click. Immediately
release the joystick. You must be able to hear each parking brake operate within a
few seconds of joystick release.
B
Repeat this test of the brake for the back, left, and right joystick positions.
