User Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be conducted on a regular basis: examine your Convaid
product visually from time to time for possible wear and tear. Teflon™ spray* should be applied to
frame and moving parts to maintain easy folding and adjustment .
a) Axles and Moving Parts: Axles and moving parts should be wiped off weekly with a slightly moist
cloth, to remove dust, dirt and mud. Sparingly apply a high quality Teflon™ spray* after each
cleaning .
b) Do not use WD-40, silicone sprays or other lubricant sprays as they will attract dust and dirt .
c) Repair or replace loose, worn, bent, missing or damaged parts before using the chair!
When going down a curb, approach the curb backwards . Lower
the rear wheels down the curb and continue backwards, taking
the weight off the front wheels so they can be gently lowered .
