Temperature • Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power chair between the temperatures of 18°F (-8°C) and 122°F (50°C). • In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell). • Temperatures above 122°F (50°C) may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components. General Guidelines • Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick. • Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture. • Keep the controller clean. • Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly. • Make sure pneumatic drive tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire. WARNING! Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure ratingindicated on each tire. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result inloss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode. WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires. • Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them. WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid. Quantum 614 Series VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE • All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. • The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. • Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout. WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary. Daily Checks • With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem. • Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem. • Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability. • Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See your Quantum Rehab Provider if there is a problem. Weekly Checks • Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact your Quantum Rehab Provider if necessary. • Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws. • Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see a Quantum Rehab Provider for replacement of the tube. • Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance around your power chair. To check the brakes: 1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair. 2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on. 3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right. Monthly Checks • Check for drive tire wear. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair. • Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary. • Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair. • Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc. 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 prop...
