31 Cleaning and care
Regularly cleaning the product is prescribed to
prevent the components from becoming stiff
due to soiling. In particular, the product should
be carefully cleaned after every major use, e.g.
summer or winter holidays.
To avoid corrosion and therefore malfunctions
or breakages of components, the product may
not be exposed to any aggressive environmen-
tal influences. If this cannot be avoided, the
product must always be cleaned immediately
after such use, and moving parts must be
greased. Regular cleaning prevents corrosion
and increased wear.
In case the product becomes wet when using,
dry it after use.
Clean the quick release axles of the drive
and caster wheels as well as the ball bearings
and grease these with a little lubricating oil with
high corrosion protection properties (e.g. Ne-
oval MTO 300) approx. every 8 weeks in order
to guarantee the reliable functioning properties.
Clean your product with water, solvent or
neutral cleaning agents. Do not use any abra-
sive cleaning agents or aggressive, acidic
cleaners, to prevent scratching or fading of the
coating or the anodised parts. Only use water
and soap to clean the seat and backrest up-
holstery.
The product must not be cleaned using
steam or high pressure.
