Spring shocks and gas dampers should be visually checked for any
abnormality, structure damage, or bent rods. See your Quantum Rehab
Provider for repair.
Yearly Checks
Take your power chair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly
maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a daily basis. This
helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent
future complications.
Storage
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature
extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See
“Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and
the electronics can be damaged. Any corroded electronic connection
should be replaced.
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be
permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service
life. It is recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout
periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair
to raise it off of the ground during periods of prolonged storage. This takes
the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of fl at spots developing
on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
Disposal of Your Power Chair
Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and
national statutory regulations. Contact your local waste disposal agency or
Quantum Rehab Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair
packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics,
batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic
and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using products that may
scratch the surface of your power chair.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make
sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your product before application.
