Maintenance & Inspection
We recommend that your wheelchair is serviced by your local dealer every twelve months. It is in your
best interests, not only to ensure your personal safety but also to ensure long life and reliability. Regular
service will identify early damage and worn components avoiding unnecessary faults occurring.
Weekly check that:
• Manual brakes do not rub the tyres and
secure the wheel when locked
• Castor bolts are tight and all fasteners
are secure
• Arms operate and lock securely in front
of rear sockets
• The drive wheels axles are secure and there
is no excessive side movement or binding
when spun
• Tyres do not show excessive wear or damage
• Castors have proper tension, i.e. spinning
castors should come to gradual stop
Monthly check that:
• Tyres are not excessively worn
• Handrims do not have sharp edges or
any abrasion
• The chair rolls straight (no excessive
drag or pull to one side)
• Pivot points are free of wear or looseness
• Seat and backrest upholstery is not for ripped
or sagging
• Frames are not worn or bent
Cleaning
Paintwork and plastic mouldings can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth of warm soapy water. Do not
use any harsh abrasive cleaners, bleach base fluids or solvents.
Seat and back upholstery can be cleaned with a general purpose upholstery cleaner or sponged with
warm soapy water.
