Advice on product care
Cleaning
•
The frame parts of the wheelchair can be wiped using a damp cloth. In
case of heavy soiling, use a mild cleaning agent.
•
To clean the wheels use a damp brush with plastic bristles (do not use
a steel brush!).
•
The padding materials can be washed up to 40°C with mild soap
solution and sanitised with disinfecting agents on an alcohol basis,
where required.
Do not use a high-pressure or vapour cleaning device!
Checking the wheelchair by user
Prior to each use, please check
•
that the tyres are in order and have sufficient air pressure (given
optional pneumatic tyres). Regularly check the profile depth of the tyres
once a month. The profile depth should measure at least 1mm.
Defective or worn tyres must be replaced.
•
the operational reliability of the brakes. If the brake is in place, the
wheelchair should be immovable. If the brake is released, the
wheelchair should be easy to push. Should you notice any unfamiliar
braking behaviour, immediately inform your specialist retailer and do
not use the wheelchair any longer.
•
the sound condition and cleanliness of the seat and backrest padding. If
these are soiled, you can clean them in accordance with the
instructions for cleaning. If they are damaged, contact your specialist
retailer.
•
all mobile parts for smooth movement and low-noise functioning.
Squeaking noises indicate damage and should be examined with
regard to their causes by a specialist retailer.
•
all screw couplings and bolted connections are tight.
