CAUTION
Sand, salt and sea water can damage the bearings of
the front and rear wheels. Clean and dry the wheelchair
carefully, after they have been exposed to these
elements.
Hygiene
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared
carefully, and be wiped and treated with spray
disinfectant on all surfaces which could come into contact
with the user. If you need to do this quickly, you must use
a liquid, alcohol-based disinfectant suitable for medical
products and devices.
