MAINTENANCE

Your Panthera is build to be nearly maintenance free. But a few parts you need to 

regularly check. 

Storage

 

When storing your wheelchair for 4 months or more you should place it in a dry, 

warm place. After storage, check the tyre pressure and the condition of the uphol-

stery.

Ongoing maintenance  

For the ongoing maintenance you need:

• car schampo or similar.

• degreaser (to remove fat and grease and dirt).

• universal oil, like, CRC 5-56

.

Once a month you should:

• Wipe the chassis with car schampo or wash up liquid with a wet cloth. If the 

wheelchair is heavy soiled degreaser can be used . Grease all moving parts with 

5-56, universal oil, after washing.

 

• Clean the front wheels attachment in the fork (between fork and wheel) Hair and 

dust often accumulate here which could damage the bearings. Loosen the wheel 

bolt with allen key 4 mm and remove the wheel. Then clean the distances located 

between the wheel and fork and wipe the wheel bearings with a cloth. Drip some 

oil in each bearing. Mount all the details.

• Lubricate the quick realease axle for the rear wheel. Remove the rear wheel 

and put a few drops of oil on the axle. 

• Fill the tyres with air. Remove the cap from the valve and open the locking valve 

and then fill with air with suitable adatpter, for correct air pressure, see Technical 

Facts.

• Check all screws and nuts and tighten them if needed.

• Check the wheelchair for damages. If a admage has occured please contact us 

at Panthera AB immediately.
