CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
Cleaning of wheels and brakes:
Wheels should be kept free of dirt or mud so as to not interfere with pushing the chair. The brakes
are to be kept free of dirt or mud, so as not to interfere with locking. Wipe wheels and brakes with
a moist cloth as needed and readjust brakes if indicated.
Cleaning of fabric cover:
Seat and back upholstery can be easily removed, washed, air dried (a Phillips head screwdriver
is required) and reattached to the chair. Use standard detergent to wash fabric. Cushioned parts
can also be removed from chair, washed or wiped off with a moist cloth. Before reattaching them
to the chair, make sure they are completely dry. Use standard detergent to wash fabric. Parts that
are permanently attached may be wiped with a moist cloth (sand blasting the chair will be easier).
Allow sufficient time to dry before placing user in chair.
