Seat heights:
The choice of frames, forks and castors, as well as the rear wheel size (24”, 26”) determines the seat heights which can be achieved.

Maintenance and Care
Maintenance
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all of the
tyres for wear or damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make
sure that they are working properly and easy to use.
• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair
safely are self-locking nuts. Check every three months to
make sure that all bolts are secure (See the page on tor-
que). Self locking nuts should only be used once and
should be replaced after single use.
• Use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair
is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat
upholstery.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after
use.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied
to quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we re-
commend taking your wheelchair to your authorised dea-
ler every 6 months to have it inspected by trained per-
sonnel.
CAUTION:
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage
the bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the
wheelchair thoroughly after exposure to these conditi-
ons.

ble parts come in contact with one another
