PS Junior User Manual

Care and maintenance

Regular care and maintenance will prevent unnecessary wear and damage

to your seat. The following is general advice recommended by Permobil.

For severe soiling of the upholstery or damage to the surface finish, contact

Permobil for information.

Upholstery, fabric/vinyl

For normal cleaning, wash the upholstery with lukewarm water and a mild non-

abrasive soap. Use a soft cloth or brush. Before the surface dries, wipe off any

water/soap residues with a clean, dry cloth. This procedure may be repeated to

remove stubborn dirt or stains.
If necessary, the cover may be removed before cleaning. See also the washing

instructions on the actual upholstery.

Metal surfaces

For normal cleaning, it is best to use a soft cloth/sponge, hot water and a mild

detergent. Wipe down carefully with a cloth and water, and dry off.
Remove scuff marks from semi-matt surfaces with soft wax (follow manufac-

turer’s instructions).
Remove scuff marks and scratches from shiny surfaces using car polish, either

liquid or paste. After polishing, apply soft car wax to restore the original surface

gloss.

Plastics

For normal cleaning, wash plastic surfaces with a soft cloth, mild detergent and

hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or

abrasive kitchen cleaners.
