Proper maintenance of your mobility vehicle is an absolute must. Your dealer should have a great working knowledge of the vehicles offered, including how to best integrate service and care of the mobility components of your vehicle with regular scheduled maintenance and service visits.
1. Having a Total Service and Maintenance Plan
Better dealers can certainly provide you with an optimized schedule to care for and maintain the smooth functioning of all mobility components and your vehicle on the whole. Getting into the habit of looking over your accessibility features and vehicle essentials for safe driving will serve you well. Spotting a tire that is low on air or a safety belt that is incorrectly wrapped around a wheelchair can save you from a major inconvenience down the road, literally.
2. Keeping Your Vehicle Protected and Secure
Having a garage or other type of physical coverage to park your vehicle under is where you want to start. Apart from keeping your vehicle clean while not in use, garages and carports offer protection from the elements and additional security to mitigate against illegal access. Investment into your mobility and lifestyle demands extra due diligence and preparation in advance.
3. Keeping Your Vehicle Clean
Regular and consistent cleaning of the exterior, interior, and undercarriage of your vehicle will prolong smooth and easy use of mobility features and functions while allowing you to enjoy a comfortable environment. Establishing rules for all to abide by when getting in or out and during transit is always a good idea too.
4. Lubricating and Cleaning as Required
Having spray lubricant and a cleaning cloth ready to use when you need them will make a huge difference in caring for your ramp or lift between scheduled servicing. A sudden downpour of rain or gush of wind can make a mess of critical moving accessibility parts when you least expect it.
5. Safely Stowing Your Ramp or Lift
Even if it is only a few minutes that you expect to be at a standstill, never leave your ramp or lift down on the ground for any reason whatsoever. Accidents happen fast and when they are least expected.
6. Caring for Your Battery
You will regret wasting battery power by leaving lights on when not required or forgetting to turn off electronic devices that you are not using, and running amenities recklessly when your battery is dead. Continued performance of your power lift or power-ramp relies on better use of your battery and its health over the long term.
