! 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.
! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat
within the battery well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame
decal for the correct wiring layout.
! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
Daily Checks
! With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns
to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage.
Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a
problem.
! Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires
exposed. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem with any harnesses.
Weekly Checks
! Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger inhibit connection on the electronics tray. Look
for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.
! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any
screws.
! Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate
properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position, and power the
unit back on. If a problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
! Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around
your power chair.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joy-
stick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick move-
ment. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.
Monthly Checks
! Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair. Adjust them as
necessary. See V. “Comfort Adjustments.”
! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
! Check for drive tire wear. See an authorized Pride Provider for repair.
! Check the rear casters for wear. Replace them as necessary.
! Check the rear forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the
bearings replaced. See an authorized Pride Provider for repair.
! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
