The most common causes of corrosion of the electric wheelchair are:
• Paint or undercoat peeling caused by impacts from stones and other hard objects.
• Accumulation of salt, soil and moisture on the frame components.
• Exposure to highly corrosive environments such as seaside, rivers and streams;
10.2.1. Peeling paint
If the paint on the frame of your power chair or other metal components is peeling off and
the metal underneath is visible, the following procedure is recommended to repaint the
affected area:
• Lightly sand the exposed area to flatten and remove any remaining paint chips. Be sure
to remove any visible surface corrosion.
• Apply a cleaning solvent to remove dust, dirt and grease.
• Apply primer to the area to be repainted.
• After a suitable drying time, apply the touch-up paint, making sure it covers all exposed
areas. Once dry, the area should now be protected from corrosion.
• If it is not practical to repaint the area, use a «rust converter» type product to
neutralize rust and prevent it from spreading.
10.2.2. Beach, salt water and coastal areas
• Salt water and the surrounding environments are highly corrosive.
• Exposure to coastal areas will increase the risk of corrosion, even if the chair is not
used on the beach. Seaside air usually contains much more salt than on inland. The
highest corrosion rates are generally found about 500 meters from the coast. If you live
near the coast or regularly use the wheelchair near the beach, please refer to sections
10.2.4 and 10.2.5. below for maintenance tips.
10.2.3. Snow and Ice, Salt Roads and Pathways
Avoid using the wheelchair on salted surfaces if possible, as salt can have a detrimental
effect on wheelchair components. If the chair has been used on wet, icy or salty surfaces,
see sections 10.2.4 and 10.2.5. below for maintenance tips.
10.2.4. Cleaning after use
The chair should not under any circumstances be pressure washed. Clean all parts of the
chair with a cloth soaked in hot water.
It can also be helpful to remove as much sand and / or salt as possible. The chair must then
be stored in a warm and dry environment.
