Maintenance tips: maintaining
your transport chair
Proper care and maintenance is important
in order to keep your transport chair in good
working condition. Be sure that your chair is
in proper working condition all the times. A
qualified dealer or repair center (wheelchair
or rental dealer) should be consulted for
periodic inspections and repairs.
1. At least once a week, wipe off chrome
using a clean soft cloth. If the chair is expo
-
sed to moisture, dry the chair immediately.
The metal parts of the chair should be
polished one a month with car wax.
2. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap
solution, rinse and wipe dry. Worn or torn
upholstery should be replaced promptly as it
may not support your body weight.
3. Inspect the wheels at least once a month.
Correct any side play by loosening the lock
nut on the axle, then tighten the axle just
enough to remove side play.
