Points of maintenance
Risk of injuries and/or damage
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons, and only
genuine replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
All parts: Present and undamaged or unworn.
All parts: Clean, see § 4.2.2.
Footrests: Well secured.
Condition of wheels/tyres, see §4.2.1.
Condition of frame parts: No deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections.
Seat, backrest, arm pads: No excessive wear (like dented spots, damage or tears).
Brakes: undamaged and fully operational.
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Yearly or more often
Have your wheelchair inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year
or more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should
therefore be commonly agreed on with your specialist dealer.
If stored
Make sure that your wheelchair is stored in a dry place to prevent mould from growing, or
the upholstery from being damaged.

Wheels and tyres
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and fibres.
Check the profile of the tyres. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be
replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
Inflate each pneumatic tyre to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
