VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be
damaged.
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 flat 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, and batteries.
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.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or premature
deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.
WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power chair
has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, you can replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire
insert, then you must replace the entire wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily avail-
able through your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an Quantum
Rehab Provider or a qualified technician.
WARNING! Be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel
mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the
wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
