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
traveling and get caught in the rain, we suggest you try to find shelter while waiting
it out. If you can't find shelter, proceed to your destination.
9.1.1 Frame
Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.

9.2.1 There are many organizations in many countries you can find on the Internet
that will accept used goods for charity. Please search the Internet to help less
fortunate individuals and protect our planet for future generations. If you do not
have access to the world wide web please use your local phone directory, ask for
operator assistance or go to your local government center for more information.
