Routine Maintenance
Wherever possible, Hoveround
®
has incorporated maintenance-free components
into the design of the MPV 4. Bearings and batteries are sealed. The requirement
for periodic service is minimal.
Owner Maintenance
Daily
• Check drive tires.
• Charge batteries (or as required).
Weekly
• Check tire treads and pressure. (Should be 45-50 psi.).
• Check that casters are free to pivot.
• Check that caster wheels rotate freely.
• Check manual brake releases. Release each brake separately to ensure that
each disables the drive when released.
• Check that drive is prevented and that a fault code is present when the
optional PSL is raised, and the controller is ON.
• Check that the rubber boot around joystick is intact.
• Check that all seat locking screws are tight.
• Check charger cords and connectors for loose connections, damaged cables or
signs of electrical damage.
