by the user
Before you use your wheelchair to have a ride check
• the intactness of the wheels. You should regularly check
the profile depth of your wheels once a month. The
profile should be at least 1 cm. Faulty or worn out
wheels must be changed.
• the functional efficiency of the handbrake. When you
pull your brake the wheelchair should remain still. When
the brakes are released then you should be able to
move your wheelchair easily without any noise and
directional stability. If you notice any unusual braking
performance, inform at once your speciality retailer and
withdraw the wheelchair from circulation.
• the intactness and cleanliness of the seat and back
covering. If it is dirty you can clean it according to the
cleaning instructions. If it is damaged, get in touch with
your speciality retailer.
• the folding mechanism and all moveable parts on free
movement and silent functioning. Squeaking sounds are
a sign of partial damage and should be taken care of by
the speciality retailer.
• the intactness of all screw joints and rivet connections.
