X. INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Your power wheelchair is an advanced mobility device, and with the correct routine
maintenance you can ensure years of maximum use. While some of the maintenance
can be done by yourself, you may need assistance from an authorized Drive Medical
provider. If you have any doubts, contact your authorized Drive Medical provider.
Preventative maintenance is key to keeping your power wheelchair in prime operating
condition. Follow the Maintenance Schedule at the end of this section to periodically
inspect your power wheelchair for serviceable items.
 Avoid abuse to the controller and joystick.
 Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.
 Keep the controller clean and free from moisture.
 Never use a conditioner on the tread of the wheels.
EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE
Should your power wheelchair come in contact with water or moisture, dry your
power wheelchair thoroughly with a towel. Allow your power wheelchair to sit in a
dry place for 8 to 12 hours to allow unseen moisture to evaporate. Check the joystick
operation and brakes before using your power wheelchair again. If any items require
service please contact your authorized Drive Medical provider.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Your power wheelchair is designed to operate ideally between 18°F and 122°F. In
extremely cold conditions your batteries may freeze depending on the battery charge,
usage, and composition of the batteries. In extremely hot conditions your power
wheelchair may operate at a lower speed. This is due to the safety mechanism built
into the unit to prevent damage to the gearbox and other electronic functions when
operating too hot.
