Storage
Your So Lite wheelchair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes.
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your So Lite wheelchair to raise it off the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing
on the areas where the tires contact the ground.
Disposal of Your So Lite wheelchair
Your So Lite wheelchair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations.
Contact your local waste disposal agency, Customer Service or your authorized Journey Provider for information
on proper disposal of So Lite wheelchair packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, neoprene,
silicone and polyurethane materials.
Cleaning and Disinfection
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your So Lite
wheelchair. Avoid using products that may scratch the So Lite wheelchair surface. If necessary, clean your
product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your product before
application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning agent
before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or So Lite wheelchair finishes.
WARNING!
Never hose off your So Lite wheelchair or place it in direct contact with
water. Your So Lite wheelchair has a painted finish that allows it to be easily wiped clean with
a damp cloth.
WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become slippery
