wheelchair periodically (if not daily), especially after it is used in the rain or snow.
We recommend 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 shelter. If
you can't find shelter, proceed to your destination.

thoroughly if it is exposed to water. Please store in a dry place. Do not clean with
an abrasive material.
