Caring for Your Shoprider Powerchair 
First Time Use 
Prior to using your compact Powerchair for the first time, you must 
charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). 
Charging may take up to 12 hours for the Jiffy, and Jiffy11, and up to 
3 hours for the Smartie. Charging the batteries completely prior to 
first time use will benefit battery efficiency and battery life. 
 
Tires 
Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry 
about tire air-pressure. 
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 compact 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. 
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 
assy) 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 Jiffy, and Jiffy11 batteries on a regular basis. For 
extended battery life with the Jiffy, and Jiffy11, it is highly 
recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use 
and that the battery pack always be turned off when not in 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: Smartie battery 
technology is virtually maintenance free and has a significantly 
longer battery life.
