CARE
Your wheelchair requires regular care when you also want it to be visually attractive. Please take note
of the following hints:
 COVERS
Clean covers with a cloth moistened with hot water. Use a mild commercial detergent for removing
stubborn dirt. Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush.
L
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
L
We shall decline all liability for damage due the use of improper cleaning liquids.
L
Take care that you do not soak the covers.
L
Steam cleaning is not suitable for these covers. If steam is used, your guarantee is voided.
 PLASTIC PARTS
Clean all plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Read their specific product
information and only use a soft brush or soft sponge.
 SURFACE LAYERS
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer coat
is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to repair the affected
surface. When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes and
cloths. Ensure that no wetness gets into the wheels.
Occasional greasing of the movable parts (also refer to the section "Servicing") will ensure that you
enjoy the benefit of your wheelchair for many years to come. Initially the chrome parts only require
rubbing with a dry cloth. Dull spots or stubborn dirt can best be removed by using a suitable
commercial chrome polish. If steel parts are lightly greased with vaseline premature dulling of the
chrome can be avoided.
To guarantee the long-term preservation of your wheelchair, we recommend that you take it once a
year to your specialist dealer for inspection. These inspections can be signed off in the "Service plan"
section.
