SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 

10.1 General maintenance instructions 

 

Your wheelchair needs periodical maintenance. This is necessary for a long lifetime and an optimal users comfort of

member can help you. We highlight below the maintenance you can do yourself.

Every month 

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

Check if the brakes are working correct;
