Maintenance
Your Solax scooter needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for long and optimum comfort for the user
of the scooter. A badly maintained scooter will give you more technical problems, make it harder to steer and it
won’t be covered by the warranty. Preventative maintenance is very important. We advise your scooter is checked
by a qualified Van Os Medical dealer at least once a year. This dealer will replace where necessary only Solax parts.
These annual inspections will make sure your scooter will function correctly for years.
There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your scooter in optimum condition. If you regularly check the
scooter and perform (small) maintenance tasks, this will extend the lifetime of your chair and increase the ease of
use. In the following paragraphs these steps maintenance are further described.

The tyres
You need to check the tyres of the scooter regularly, because the tyres can wear out. If the wear is at an advanced
stage, then you should replace the tyres.
Clean the tyres with car shampoo and a moist cloth. Do not use solvents on the tyres. These can damage or soften
the tyres’ material.

When any of the above points show abnormalities, please contact the dealer where you bought the scooter . Only
your dealer may make any repairs to any part of the scooter.
