CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Compass ™ is designed to require minimal maintenance. We recommend that you
periodically check the following:
Tire Tread: Regularly visually inspect the tire tread. If the remaining tread is less than
1/32 of an inch, have your local Golden representative replace the worn tires.
Motor Brushes: Have your local Golden representative inspect the motor brushes once
a year.
Joystick and Controller: Protect the joystick and controller from adverse weather
conditions. Moisture will damage the controller and void your power chair’s warranty.
Battery Terminals: Regularly inspect the condition of the battery terminals. Make
certain that they are not corroded. Also check to see that the terminals are securely
tightened.
Cleaning: Use only a water-dampened soft cloth to clean the ABS shroud. The shroud
has a protective coat that is very easy to maintain.
NOTE: Do not use free-flowing water to clean your Compass
™ . Water and extreme
temperatures are the main elements that can adversely affect your power
chair and its performance.
Water, Rain, Sleet, and Snow
Water, in any form, will cause electronic malfunction or corrosion of the electrical
components, connections, and the chair frame.
Temperature
♦
At extremely low temperatures, the batteries of your power chair may freeze, pre-
venting your Compass
™ from operating.
♦ At extremely high temperatures, your power chair may operate at slower speeds due
to the controller’s thermal rollback feature that is designed to prevent damage to the
motors and to the other electrical components of the chair.
