Why Proper Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Airwheel electric wheelchair. By following simple guidelines, you can prevent common issues and extend the lifespan of your device. Proper care not only enhances safety but also preserves the functionality of critical components like the battery and motor.

Battery Care: The Heart of Your Wheelchair

The battery is one of the most critical components. If the battery voltage drops below the threshold, a red light will flash slowly, indicating a need for immediate charging. Prolonged discharge can cause permanent damage. Always use the original charger and avoid over-discharging. For best results, charge the battery when it reaches 20% capacity. Note that battery replacement is covered under warranty for the first 12 months, provided it’s not due to water ingress or unauthorized disassembly.

Daily Checks and Cleaning

Inspect the tires, seat, and footrests regularly for wear and tear. Clean the frame with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup. Ensure all connections are secure, and check for any signs of damage to the wiring or plastic guards. Replace damaged parts promptly to avoid further complications.

Software and Firmware Updates

Keep your Airwheel’s firmware up to date via the official app. Updates often include performance improvements and safety enhancements. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on how to update your device.

Warranty and Support

Airwheel offers a 12-month warranty for most components, including the motor and controller. For easy parts like tires, the warranty is 7 days. Always contact https://www.airwheel.net for authorized repairs to maintain warranty validity.
