1.15 PRESERVATION & STORAGE
Where ever possible as a minimum store the wheelchair in garage type
conditions, away from wet or damp areas.
During the course of general use, the wheelchair may become wet, due to rain
and such events. When practical the wheelchair should be wiped down with a dry
cloth, this is to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Where wheelchairs are stored in the back of cars and similar transportation
vehicles, there are occasions especially in hotter climatic conditions such as
summer, it is advisable to cover the wheelchair with a suitable cover. This will
reduce the risk of the wheel becoming hot, having an effect on user or carer
handling the chair out of the vehicle.
When a doubt exists, where the wheelchair has suffered constant miss use of
storage, the wheelchair should be removed from the client, and disposed of.
