6. MAINTENANCE
Keep your wheelchair in good working condition by having it checked regularly. We
recommend you have your wheelchair checked at least once a year.
Here are some things you can do yourself to keep your wheelchair in good condition.
6.1 Tyres
Check the tyres regularly for wear and replace them as needed.
PU tyres: PU tyres are commonly used on wheelchairs as they do not need to be
inflated and are puncture-proof. However, PU tyres can wear out. Check
the tread on the tyres regularly.
6.2 Brakes
Before checking the brakes, ensure tyre pressure is correct.
Inspect both brakes for sharp rims. If sharp rims are present, the brakes should be
replaced. Ensure all parts of the brake are in the correct position and fastened securely.
»
Make sure the mechanism is working smoothly. If the mechanism is stiff, apply
some oil at turning points with one or two drops of WD40 oil or Teflon. Remove
surplus oil and dirt.
»
Make sure the brakes do not contact the wheels when the wheelchair is moving.
6.3 Cross frame
The cross frame is the basis of your wheelchair. Make sure it is in good condition at all
times.
»
Check the wheelchair can be easily folded and unfolded.
»
Check the wheelchair travels in a straight line while moving.
»
Ensure the cross frame is not bent and shows no signs of wear.
If any of the above problems are noted, contact a qualified I-GO dealer.
Warning
Under inflation of the tyres can cause malfunctioning in the brakes.
