Caring for Your Shoprider Jiffy Powerchair
First Time Use
Prior to using your Jiffy portable Powerchair for the first time, you
must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging
Procedures). Charging may take up to 8 hours. Charging the
batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery
efficiency.
Tires
Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry
about tire air-pressure.
General Maintenance and Lubrication
Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts,
castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a
regular basis.
Most lubricated components on the Jiffy Powerchair are
designed to be maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore,
lubrication is not required for these components. However, the
driving axles should always have a very light coat of multi-
purpose grease.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE!
Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc.
It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel
assy) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned
occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the
performance of the unit.
Check the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery
life, it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged
after each use. If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or
old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including
charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, and others.
Please contact your provider for battery replacement.
