GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CHAIRS
WARNING: Never clean or maintain your chair with an occupant in the chair.
Keeping the chair clean is the main maintenance requirement.
Routine maintenance and periodic safety check is required to keep your chairs performing at their
best. Each facility should check their chairs and set their own maintenance schedule.
If a part becomes worn or broken, see the sections regarding service and warranty for information,
please reference service and warranty section of this manual.
GENERAL CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When solvent type cleaners are being used, care should be exercised.
KEEP AWAY from fire or flame and use in a well ventilated area.
CAUTION: High pressure wash or “hosing down” chairs is not recommended.
CAUTION: Use of vinyl “conditioners” or “protectants” is not recommended. Vinyl
“conditioner” or “protectants” can cause plasticizers to migrate out of the vinyl causing
it to become embrittled. This will prematurely age your vinyl and is not covered under
warranty.
Some institutional cleaners or disinfectants may cause discoloration of the vinyl. Use of cleaners,
other than those recommended by the vinyl manufacturer, is at the clinics own risk.
Follow the
vinyl manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.
Certain medications may produce a
metabolite in the patient’s perspiration which can stain or discolor fabric. If you have any questions,
please call Champion’s Customer Service Department at 800-998-5018 with the serial number from
your chair. The serial number can be found on the frame base, on the back, to the left hand side.
