General Maintenance and Lubrication 
ƒ
  Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, 
castor nuts and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular 
basis. 
ƒ
 Most lubricated components on the Powerchair are designed to be 
maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore, lubrication is not 
required for these components. However, the driving wheel axles 
and seat post should always have a very light coat of multi-purpose 
grease.**NOTE** Never put grease or oil in the breather cap located 
on the top of each worm gear. 
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE! 
Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc. 
ƒ
  It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel 
assembly) and castor assemblies be checked and cleaned 
occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the 
performance of the unit.  
ƒ
  Check the 6Runner’s batteries on a regular basis. For extended 
battery life, it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully 
charged after each use. If the batteries are weak, severely 
discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit 
including charging problems, reduced speed, loss  of  range,  loss  of 
charge capacity and others. Please contact your provider for battery 
replacement and proper disposal. Note:  Charging your batteries 
daily will enhance the life of your batteries. If the batteries are left 
unattended for extended periods of time, it is recommended that 
they be left in a fully charged state. Leaving your batteries in a 
discharged state, or not charging them regularly will diminish the life 
of your batteries and cause irreversible damage to your batteries.
