Maintenance and care

Safety Check:
As the user you will be the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you
check the following:
The tyre pressure is correct.
The brakes work correctly.
All removable parts are securely fastened (e.g. armrests,
footrest hangers, quick-release axles etc).
If there is any damage/defect, please contact your uthorised
dealer.
Maintenance:
• Check the tyre pressure once a week.
• Check all tyres for wear and damage at regular intervals, at
least every 3 months. Change the tyres as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.
• Check axles and axle sleeves every six months to make
sure they are tight. Loose sleeves will damage the axle
plate and will affect performance.
• Check the seat and back sling for wear and damage at
regular intervals, at least annually. Change these items as
soon as there is any sign of damage or wear.
• Check all frame and backrest components including
fasteners for wear and damage at regular intervals, at least
every 3 months. Change these items as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.
• Check the brakes for wear and damage at regular intervals,
at least every week. Check that they are working properly
and are easy to use. Change the brakes as soon as there is
any sign of damage or wear.

All screws which are critical to using the wheelchair safely
have safety nuts. Safety nuts should only be used once
and should be replaced after use.
NOTE: If torque settings are given, then we strongly
recommend that you use a torque measuring device, in order to
check that you have tightened to the correct torque.
Please use only mild household cleaners when your wheelchair
is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat
upholstery and lap belt.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend
taking your wheelchair to your authorised dealer regularly,
but at least within a year, to have it maintained by trained
personnel.
