Rascal P327 Mini / P327 Mini SL Powerchair Owner’s Manual & Service Record
Servicing and
Maintenance
1. This vehicle is designed for minimum
maintenance. However it is recommended that a
competent engineer service the vehicle at least
once a year. If the vehicle is used constantly we
recommend a twice yearly maintenance.
2. Ensure the engineer stamps the Service Log
(page 28) on completion for all servicing carried out
on this vehicle. Keep all receipts for servicing and
repairs with this handbook. This may add value
when selling the vehicle.
3. When the vehicle is due for its service make
sure you report any concerns you have,
preferably when you book the service (See points to
look out for below).
4. On completion of the service, always test
the vehicle before the engineer leaves and make
sure you are satisfied with the work carried out.
Points to look out for:
• Are there any strange noises from the wheels or
does the frame creak?
• Is the battery charging up correctly – is the “full”
charge green light on after charging?
• When turning, does the Powerchair respond
equally to left and right movements of the joystick ?
• Does the Powerchair stop smoothly when the
joystick is centred ?
• Does the Powerchair tend to pull to one side ?
• Does the speed control work ?
• Has anything come loose?
• Are there noises or rattles that were not there
before?
• Are there any signs of damage, corrosion or
cracking?
• Does the seat-lift function smoothly?
Additional Safety
Information
Carrying Weight on the Vehicle
Bags or Luggage: Never carry bags (unless they are
an approved accessory) behind the seat as this could
result in tipping over backwards. Only carry small
bags on your lap and ensure it does not prevent you
from controlling your vehicle.
Seat Arms: Do not carry or attach anything to the
seat arms. Anything attached to the seat arms could
affect stability, or interfere with the control of the
vehicle.
Other Precautions
Joystick: Do not touch the joystick when getting in
or out of your Powerchair; always make sure the
Powerchair is switched off.
Modifications: Unauthorised modifications could
result in injury or permanent damage. Such modifi-
cations will invalidate any guarantees.
Other Items: Only fit approved products or
accessories.
