Care And Maintenance - Pride Mobility PMV Serie Manuel Du Propriétaire

V I I I . C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
Your PMV requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your ability
to perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized
Provider. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE
 If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire
be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure
to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tires at all times may
result in tire and/or wheel failure.
 Regularly inspect your PMV's tires for signs of damage or wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the PMV's vinyl seat or tire tread,
as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
 Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your PMV.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your PMV.
 If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for
use on your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or
cleaning agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin
irritation or premature deterioration of upholstery and/or PMV finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
 Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
 The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
 The battery terminals should face according to the battery wiring diagram. See III. "Batteries and
Charging."
WIRING HARNESSES
 Regularly check all wiring connections.
 Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
 Have your authorized Provider repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that
you find before using your PMV again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the PMV 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.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the PMV.
Always grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire
damage.
