Safety & Maintenance Inspection
We recommend that your Powerchair is serviced by your local dealer every six
months. It is in your best interests, not only to ensure your personal safety but
also to ensure long life and reliability. Regular service will identify early damage
and worn components avoiding unnecessary faults occurring.
Weekly check that:
•
Check all connectors are secure properly, properly mated and free from dam-
age
•
Castor bolts are tight and all fasteners are secure
•
Adjustable height arms operate and lock securely
•
The drive wheels mounting bolts are secure and there is no excessive side
movement or binding when spun
•
Tyres do not show excessive wear or damage
•
Castors for proper tension, i.e. spinning castors should come to gradual stop
Monthly check that:
•
Check joystick gator around the base of the joystick for damage or splitting
•
Motor parking brakes function correctly
•
The chair rolls straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side)
•
Pivot points are free of wear or looseness
•
Seat and backrest upholstery is not for ripped or sagging
•
Frames are not worn or bent
Cleaning
Paintwork and plastic mouldings can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth of warm
soapy water. Do not use any harsh abrasive cleaners, bleach base fluids or

Seat and back upholstery can be cleaned with a general purpose upholstery
cleaner or sponged with warm soapy water.

Safe Operation
When using indoors beware of narrow doors, steps, high surfaces, protruding
wall fittings and everyday household items such as children’s toys, electrical
appliances etc. Take extra care in kitchen environments.
To ensure stability and safe control you must maintain proper balance at all
times. The Powerchair is designed to remain stable during normal use as long as
you do not move you centre of gravity outside the normal seating position.
When reaching/bending forward do not lean your body out of the Powerchair further
than the length of the armrests. Do not attempt to reach objects by sliding forwards to
the edge of the seat.
When reaching/bending backwards do not reach any further than your arm will
extend without changing your seating position.
Never attempt to use an escalator or stairway, always use a lift.
Occasionally check that the adjustments of the footrests, armrests and controller
are secure and are set in the most comfortable position for use.
We recommend the use of the safety belt provided with the chair.
Avoid use in rain, to avoid the possibility of water penetration into the
electrically operated equipment.
Electromagnetic Interference
Powerchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) which is
energy emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, two-way radio,
and cellular phones.
Avoid coming into close contact to them whilst the Powerchair is turned-on.
Switch off immediately to avoid possible abnormal, erratic movement and control
of your Powerchair.
