Maintenance

Your wheelchair requires minimum maintenance, but it is advisable to inspect the wheelchair
regularly in order to drive trouble-free for years.
4.1

Time of maintenance

CAUTION
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.
The last page of this manual contains a registration form for the specialist dealer to record
each service.
The service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer to
agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
Read the user instructions of the applied battery charger regarding maintenance.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
•
All parts: present, undamaged and unworn.
•
All parts: clean, see § 4.2.2.
•
Wheels, seat, calf rests, arm rests, footplate and headrest (if applied): well secured.
•
Battery status: charge the battery when necessary, see §3.8.
•
Operating console, battery, power module, motors, battery charger, lights and relevant
cables: no damage such as wires that have become frayed, broken or exposed.
•
Condition of wheels/tyres, see § 4.2.1.
•
Condition of frame parts: no deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections.
•
Seat, backrest, arm pads, calf pads and head rest (if applied): no excessive wear (like
dented spots, damage or tears).
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Every month
If your wheelchair is stored for a longer period, you still need to charge the batteries every month.
It is also possible to keep the battery charger connected to the battery and the mains during this
period. For more information, see § 3.8.
Yearly or more often
Have your wheelchair inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year, or
more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed upon with your specialist dealer.
If stored
Make sure that your wheelchair is stored in a dry environment to prevent mould from growing, or
the upholstery from being damaged.
