Doing so could cause instability in your power chair. Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 10,5% (6°). See figure 1.
II. SAFETY Public Streets and Roadways WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways.

VI. BAT T E R I E S AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Luxor uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
VI. BAT T E R I E S AND CHARGING To charge the batteries using the off-board charger: 1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the drive position. See III. “Your Power Chair.” 3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/ programming socket on the controller. 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.
VI. BAT T E R I E S AND CHARGING Daily Use If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Infrequent Use If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.
VI. BAT T E R I E S AND CHARGING How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Luxor is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your authorized Pride Provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within battery boxes, with the battery terminals facing the top of the battery box. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for solid tyres: 1. Turn off the power to the controller. 2. Set the power chair up on blocks. 3. Remove the drive wheel nut cap. 4. Remove the drive wheel nut and washer from the axle. See figure 29. 5. Pull the wheel off the axle. 6. Replace the entire assembly if it is a solid tyre. Make sure that the key is in the axle slot. 7. Reinstall the drive wheel nut and washer onto the axle and tighten. 8.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING! Make sure you tighten the fasteners so that the connections are secure. 13. Place the lid back onto each battery box. 14.
