ROUTINE CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE 

1.

 

Upholstery 

 

Upholstery should be routinely cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. 
Never use paint remover or thinners on upholstery.  

2.

 

Metal Parts 

 

Clean all metal parts with a wax compound such as car wash to maintain 
finish. Do not use any obtrusive cleanser that will scratch the finish on the 
chair.  

3.

 

Cross Brace 

 

Periodically lubricate the centre bolt on the cross brace with light machine oil.  

4.

 

Tyres and Wheels 

 

Examine tyres regularly for wear and replace as necessary. Solid tyres should 
be replaced when they become loose on the rim or cracks appear which 
expose the mounting wire groove. For pneumatic tyres, check tyre pressure is 
even and correct. Check that the wheels run freely and that quick release axles 
are correctly locked.  

 

If your wheelchair is fitted with pneumatic tires and you have a puncture 
please take your wheelchair to the nearest dealer or bicycle repair center 

5.

 

Castors 

 

Check periodically that the bolt and nut securing the wheel to the castor fork 
is tight and allows a snug but free spinning fit.  

6.

 

Brakes 

 

Regularly check for effective operation and there is no wear or signs of play.  

7.

 

General 

 

Always check before use that the wheelchair folds and unfolds correctly and 
that movement both backwards and forwards is in a straight line.  

8.

 

Servicing 

 

We recommend your wheelchair is fully serviced every twelve months. For 
parts and service information please contact Aidapt Bathrooms Limited 
(details on the back page).  

 

Your Wheelchairs has been made from the finest materials and tested to  
BS EN 12183:1999 for your complete piece of mind and the expected service 
life of your wheelchair is 5 years+.  

9.

 

Recycling of your Wheelchair 

 

Once the wheelchair has reached its expected service life you can contact 
Aidapt, which is a WEEE registered company, for disposal.
