8: Maintenance
Should a problem be found when carrying out the regular checks, it should be immediately
reported to the issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd.
8.1 Routine maintenance
Below are a series of simple checks which should be regularly carried out as part of
routine maintenance of the pushchair. If you discover a fault or any signs of damage,
immediately stop using the pushchair and contact either Tendercare Limited or your
issuing authority for further instruction. Do not attempt to correct any issues yourselves
without further instruction from either Tendercare Ltd or your issuing authority. If you
discover damage or a fault which is not listed below, stop using the pushchair and
immediately contact either your issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd. Similarly, if you have
any queries or concerns, please contact either your issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd.
1. Carry out a visual assessment of the buggy (each time you use the pushchair).
2. Check that the two M8 x 16 footrest bolts are in place and are tight by using the
Allen key (daily). The supplied 5mm Allen key is required to tighten the footrest.
3. Check all nuts, bolts, and hand wheels are tight (daily).
4. Check the seat fits securely into your particular chassis and can lock into place
(each time you use the pushchair).
5. Check condition of accessories including harnessing (weekly).
6. Clean frame/covers when necessary (we suggest at least once a week).
7. Always wipe the wheelbase and seat frame dry. Never put them away damp.
8.2 Six-monthly maintenance
On a six-monthly basis, please ensure the below checks are carried out by either a
competent tradesman or approved repairer.
If you discover a fault or any signs of damage, immediately stop using the pushchair and
contact the appropriate authority for further instruction. This may be the approved repairer,
the issuing authority (e.g. a wheelchair service) or Tendercare Ltd. If you discover either
damage or a fault which is not listed below, stop using the pushchair and immediately
contact the appropriate authority. Similarly, if you have any queries or concerns, please
contact the appropriate authority. If you are unsure who to contact, contact Tendercare Ltd
directly.
1.
Check operation of the seat back recline. Check the gas strut and the gas strut
release head for any signs of damage. In addition to the six-monthly check, as the
gas strut release head is a cast aluminium part, we recommend replacing every
three years.
2.
Examine upholstery and postural accessories including harnessing for wear and
arrange for replacement if necessary.
