6. Cleaning and disinfection
To prevent the spread of germs, clean all skin contacting areas with disinfectant wipes regularly.
Keep frame dry and apply a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant to all moving
parts. After longer storage periods, and before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced,
cleaned, and disinfected.
Cleaning of frame
Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic
and biodegradable wipe. Lubricant should be applied to moving parts as needed to maintain easy
folding and adjustment. Corrosive substance such as salt water should be avoided at all times. If
exposed the frame should be wiped off with a moist towel as soon as possible. Water and a soft
cloth are sufficient for basic cleaning.
Cleaning of wheels and brakes
Wheels and brakes should be kept free of dirt or mud after each use. Foreign objects could cause
interference with moving parts. Wipe wheels and brakes with a moist cloth as needed and read-
just brakes if needed.
