We recommend the following points for successful cleaning of your equipment. (It is possible that some
surface wrinkling may occur following these processes)
Fabric Upholstery Care
Refer to JCMs fabric cleaning guide which can be found on their website www.jcmseating.co.uk
Do not use bleach, acidic, solvent, abrasive, biological or phenolic based cleaners.
Metal Framework
•
If all upholstery is removed the metal framework can be cleaned with hot soapy water and detergent
or it can be steam cleaned. (Labelling may need to be replaced following steam cleaning).
•
Ensure that the framework is thoroughly dried after cleaning.
•
Always ensure that any moving or adjustable parts are re-lubricated.
General maintenance should be carried out by a competent, professional person who is well informed
on how to use the equipment (see warranty - page 25) if there is no such person available or a more
thorough check is needed, a service via an approved repairer (see opposite) should be booked. The
person who carries out the maintenance check or service should always fill out the service history log
record (page 24) in order to ensure the warranty remains valid.
As documented opposite, the degree of maintenance required is dependent on various factors relating
to the use of the product. In addition to the specific functional adjustment warnings specified in this
manual, it should be ensured that a thorough inspection of the following should be completed at no
greater than 6 month intervals:
Points listed here are generic across the JCM range and do not apply to all products.
Cleaning & Care
General Maintenance
!
Castors
Lift base and check each wheel to ensure it is not damaged, loose or worn.
Brakes
• Removing any grease or dirt that has built up on the wheels, check that the brakes stop the wheels
rotating.
• Check they are securely fixed in place & that there are no signs of damage or wear & tear.
Pushing Handles
• Ensure handles are functioning correctly.
• Check there are no signs of damage or wear and tear.
• Ensure push handle grips are secure.
Seat Tilt in Space
Mechanism
• With the tilt lock released check for free movement with no signs of damage or wear to the mechanism,
lever or cables.
• Tighten the lock and ensure it holds the seat angle.
Seat / Backrest Upholsters
• Check the attachment points of the seat and backrest upholstery are tight.
• Check for worn covering. Rough worn upholstery can cause discomfort and would be difficult to
• keep hygienically clean, which may cause skin irritation.
Frame
With correct maintenance the
frame should provide at least
5 years trouble free use but,
depending on conditions of use,
wear will occur and a thorough
inspection is recommended.
• Check all metal parts to ensure there are no signs of damage or wear and tear, paying particular attention
to adjustable or moving parts.
• Check there are no signs of failure in joints and welds.
• Check tightness & security of all fixings, bolts, nuts, spring loaded pegs, & other fitments.
• Check for signs of fatigue wears, replace parts that show signs of wear or repeatedly becoming loose.
Fixtures
Check arm pads and headrest, replace if worn.
