V. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A. Maintenance Table
Regular and routine maintenance will extend the life of your wheelchair while improving its
performance. Wheelchair repairs, the replacement of parts and any maintenance check that you
are not comfortable performing should be done by an authorized supplier. Only use Ki Mobility
approved parts when replacing components. Contact your Authorized Service Representative
(Dealer locator can be found at Ki Mobility website) for parts information, identification, ordering
and additional technical information or instruction. Most components are illustrated in "Ki Parts"
on the Ki Mobility website.
Common tools to perform user authorized maintenance include: Tire pressure gauge, open end
metric wrenches and metric allen wrenches.
WARNING: Lack of maintenance could result in adverse events including loss of support
or control which could result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Do not use petroleum-based solvents, degreasers or dewatering agents (includ-
ing but not limited to automotive cleaners, alcohols or WD-40). Damage to components,
bearings or finishes may occur.
Clean your wheelchair. In the event of corrosive spills or exposure to biohazards, remove
contaminants immediately. See the Cleaning section in this manual for instructions.
Wipe the rotary frame glide surfaces with a damp cloth.
Inspect cables for damage.
Inspect the frame(s) and anti-tips for deformities, defects, cracks, dimples or bends. These
could be signs of fatigue in the wheelchair which could result in a failure. Discontinue use of
the wheelchair immediately and contact an authorized supplier.
Have the wheelchair checked and adjusted by a qualified technician at your authorized
supplier.
