Maintenance
Maintenance described in this section can be carried out by the user. Other
maintenance work should be carried out by qualified personnel at the
supplier in your municipality or at the technical aids centre. For information
about repairs or servicing, please contact the technical aids centre in your
county.
Washing the frame
The frame should be washed regularly with warm soapy water. If the frame is
very dirty, a degreasing agent may be used. The frame may be washed with
a high-pressure hose. If you use this method, avoid directly spraying the ball
bearings. Dry the wheelchair well after washing it or after it has been used in
rainy conditions. If a degreasing agent is used, moving parts should be greased
afterwards.
Disinfection
Disinfection must only be carried out by qualified personnel. The wheelchair
can be disinfected with disinfectants that contain 70-80% ethanol. Do not use
disinfectants containing chlorine or phenol.
Cleaning the seat and backrest covers
The upholstery and backrest cover can be washed in a washing machine at 60 °C.
See the washing instructions on the various textiles.
Conditions which could damage the wheelchair
The chair should not be used at temperatures below -35 °C or over 60 °C. No
specific requirements are made in connection with humidity or air pressure. No
further requirements are made regarding storage conditions.
