10. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 

10.1 General maintenance instructions 

 

Your wheelchair needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for a long lifetime and an optimal user’s comfort 
of your wheelchair. A badly maintained wheelchair will give more technical problems, turn less flexible and fall out 
the warranty terms. 
  
Preventive maintenance is most important and many of these things you can easily do yourself or a friend or family 
member can help you. We highlight below the maintenance you can do yourself. 
 

Every week 

 

Check tyre pressure; 

 

 

 

 

Check the fold ability of the wheelchair and the quick release rear wheels;  

Check upholstery for wear; 
Check wheel movement front and rear and check turn ability of the wheels; 
Check if the brakes are working correct; 

Every three months 

Check all bolts, screws and nuts and tighten if necessary; 

 

 

 

 

Check all spokes for tension;  

Check tyre tread for wear. 

 
Furthermore we advise you let you wheelchair check by an authorised dealer every year. Make sure you dealer 
checks the point mentioned by paragraph 16.2.
