SECTION 7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
DAILY
Charge your batteries every night so your Power Chair is ready to go when you are.
WEEKLY
1. Check tyre pressures (30PSI drive wheels, 30PSI front & rear castors)
2. Clean frame and vinyl parts with mild soapy solution.
3. Wipe upholstery with a clean damp cloth
4. Check function of electric brakes (When chair is turned on with motors
engaged and hand off the joystick, you should not be able to push the chair or
rotate the drive wheels)
5. Check all cables and connectors are secured; i.e. battery, motors and controller.

bottom bearing mounts or pintle shaft. Contact your nearest Glide
Rehabilitation Products agent for repair of this fault if it occurs.
MONTHLY

2. Inspect and clean corrosion from battery terminals and cable connectors.

enables them to identify and correct problems that might otherwise go undetected.
For any questions concerning procedures or service, contact your nearest Glide
Rehabilitation Products Agent or Glide Rehabilitation Products direct.
