πͺ Keep Your Mobility Scooter or Power Chair Running Smoothly! πͺ
Your mobility device is your independence β and a little care goes a long way in keeping it reliable and ready when you need it. Here are some simple tips to help you keep it in top shape:
π§½ Cleaning & General Care
Wipe down your scooter or chair regularly with a soft cloth. Use mild soap for stubborn spots.
Avoid spraying water or cleaners directly onto electrical parts or the control panel.
Remove dirt, grass, and debris from under the footrest and around the wheels.
Dry everything completely after cleaning, and use a bit of WD-40 or anti-rust spray on exposed metal parts.
π Battery Care
Charge according to the manufacturerβs instructions β avoid overcharging or letting the battery run flat.
Keep battery terminals clean and dry to prevent corrosion.
If you wonβt be using your device for a while, charge the battery once a month and store it indoors.
π Tire & Wheel Tips
Check for cracks, worn treads, or stuck debris regularly.
Keep air-filled tires at the correct pressure β it helps performance and protects your battery.
If your chair or scooter drifts to one side, it might need a quick alignment check.
π§ Mechanical Checks
Tighten loose screws or bolts when needed.
Lubricate hinges and joints for smooth movement.
If something doesnβt feel right, itβs best to contact a professional rather than risk damage.
β¨ A little regular maintenance can keep you moving safely and confidently every day! β¨
