9. CLEANING & RECYCLING
9.1 Cleaning
In order to lengthen the life of your wheelchair, it is suggested that you clean
the wheelchair periodically (if not daily), especially after it is used in the rain
or snow. We suggest that you don't use your wheelchair in the rain or snow. If
you are travelling and get caught in the rain, we suggest you try to find a
shelter while waiting it out. If you can't find any shelter, proceed to your
destination.
