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 two

years 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.
