Servicing
Your Scooter, Powerchair, Wheelchair or Bathlift will require maintenance from time to time as set out in the owner’s manual. However to keep your equipment in a safe condition, an annual service should be undertaken, this is obligatory for extended warranties.
A typical service will include:
- Electronic controller function and reading
- Wheel alignment and steering check
- Bearings & motor brushes, check, clean and replacement
- Regenerative braking system, function check
- Battery charging system, check
- Battery condition report
- Brakes/Lights all checked
- Tyre wear and damage report, pressure adjustments
- Electrical wiring and terminal checks
- Seat and freewheel operation and lubrication
- Transaxle condition check and lubrication (certain models)
- Valet
Battery technology has changed considerably over the past few years. Powerchair and Scooter batteries today, especially Gel/AGM batteries, offer far more power but delivered in the same size package, they provide more consistent performance.
- When storing a Powerchair or Scooter for more than 2 weeks, charge the batteries and then disconnect them
- Always store your batteries FULLY CHARGED
- NEVER run your batteries completely flat
- Always recharge your battery after use
- If you have to store your Powerchair / Scooter, disconnect your batteries and make sure they are fully charged and then charged at least once a month, or weekly if possible
