Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a Power Plus Mobility product.
At Power Plus Mobility we manufacture top quality
“Canadian Made” products. Your wheelchair should
provide you with many years of service, but like any piece
of equipment, it will require proper care and service for it
to perform efficiently.

Your satisfaction is necessary and important to us and we
want to guarantee it.

However we suggest you regularly inspect your chair,
checking for loose fasteners, excess play and damage. We
also strongly recommend that regular maintenance be done
by your servicing dealer.

Please complete your “Warranty registration card” and
return it to us at Power Plus Mobility.

Also please read this manual to help you understand the
proper operation, safety and maintenance of your new
chair. If you have any difficulties or require additional
information contact your dealer or our customer service
department at Power Plus Mobility.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Power Plus Mobility guarantees all parts of our wheelchair to be
free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one

year from the date of purchase. “Wear” items such as tires, tubes,
armpads and upholsteries are excluded from this warranty.

In addition the frame is guaranteed to be free of defects in
workmanship and material (to the original owner) for a period of

5 years.
This warranty is invalid if the chair has been damaged by
accident, misuse, neglect, improper application, unauthorized

service repair or the addition of non-factory approved
accessories.

Power Plus Mobility will repair or replace defective parts as
required. A return authorization must be obtained and the parts
returned to us freight prepaid, within the warranty period.

Labour and freight charges incurred for replacements or repairs
are not covered.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Your wheelchair is designed to give you many years of trouble-free
use with proper care. Some servicing can be done at home, but we
recommend that periodic maintenance be performed at your dealer.

Service frequency depends strongly on the type of use and your
dealer can best advise you on the time interval.

CLEANING

All chrome or powder coated parts can be cleaned with a mild
non-abrasive cleaner such as window cleaner. Stubborn spots or

rust can be removed with automotive chrome cleaner.
The arms and nylon upholstery should be cleaned with a mild soap

and water solution. Both should be rinsed well with clean water to
remove all soap residues. The molded wheels and casters should

also be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.

LUBRICATION

Your wheelchair has been made with low friction plastic,
chromoly, aluminum and polished chrome to reduce friction and
wear. However a light use of thin lubricant, such as WD40 or
silicone spray will reduce friction and wear, making your chair
easier to use.

SAFETY AND HANDLING

The safe handling of your chair depends on understanding the
purpose and function of your particular wheelchair model.

Recognizing the chairs’ limitations will increase your confidence
level.

LEANING

Leaning should be avoided when possible, as this weight transfer
will reduce your chair’s stability. When leaning forward or
sideways make sure the casters are turned in the direction you are
leaning as this will lengthen the wheel base, increasing stability.

Also make sure the wheel locks are engaged, to prevent your chair
from rolling.

MANOUVERING RAMPS, CURBS, STAIRS

Lean forward in chair, putting weight over front casters when
going up inclines. When going on descending inclines do so slowly
by controlling your speed using the handrims and not the wheel.

To mount a curb use the tipping method, pull the chair backwards
and over the curb. To descend a curb do your tipping and either
pull yourself down backwards or roll yourself forward and down
very slowly.

It is a definite no-no to use your chair on an escalator, find the
nearest elevator instead. Going up or down stairs should be done
with at least two attendants at all times.

TRANSFERRING IN A WHEELCHAIR

Attendant assistance is recommended to stabilize the chair and
help in lifting you, if necessary. Transfers are best accomplished by
following these guidelines:

Use a chair with detachable or flip back arm.

Position your chair as close as possible to the transfer object and
engage your wheel locks to prevent movement.

Try to transfer to objects of the same height or close to.

REAR WHEELS

Your wheels are made of injection molded nylon and will not rust. They are
also fitted with sealed precision bearings (7) which require no lubrication.
However they may need occasional adjustments, due to wear under normal
use. Too much side play or looseness or squeaking from your wheel means
it needs to be checked. In most cases, tightening of the axle bolt (2) will
rectify this condition. Should squeaking of looseness continue to exist after
adjustment, the bearings might have to be changed. See your servicing
dealer for assistance.
