IMPORTANT
Maintenance
We encourage the use of the service history log record, which can be found on the following page. The degree of
maintenance required is largely dependent upon the frequency of use, how active the user is, and the effects of
others who mistakenly operate this chair. In some instance, daily checking of security and correct adjustment may
be necessary. Reference to the earlier pages of this manual will identify all points that should be checked for fitting
and security. In addition a detailed inspection of the following should be checked at least annually.
•
Castor Wheels:
Lift base and check each wheel to ensure it is not loose or worn.
•
Castor Brakes:
Removing any grease or dirt that has built up on the wheels, check that the brakes stop the
wheels rotating.
•
Seat Tilt Mechanism:
With the tilt lock released check for free movement with no signs of wear. Tighten
the lock and ensure it holds the seat angle.
•
Hi-Low Base Height Adjustment:
With the seat unloaded press the lever and ensure that it moves freely
to the maximum height. Place the appropriate maximum load (40, 60, 80 or 100kgs) and, over a period of
time (approximately 10
—15
minutes), check that there is no creep (lowering) of the seat. With the load on,
press the lever and ensure the seat travels freely to the lowest position.
•
Seat / Backrest Upholstery:
Check the attachment points of the seat and backrest upholstery, for
tightness. Check for wear or worn covering, rough worn upholstery can cause discomfort, would be
difficult to keep hygienically clean, and might cause skin irritation.
•
Frame & Fixtures General:
Check for signs of fatigue wears, replacing parts that show signs of wear or
repeatedly becoming loose. 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 for signs of wear, paying particular attention to adjustable/moving parts.
•
Check Arm Pads and Headrest, replace if worn.
•
Check Tray for damage. Trays with black edge rails are fitted with D shaped blanking end caps. They are
held in place by an inference fit and an adhesive, if these are loose they should be removed, all surfaces
cleaned and an appropriate adhesive applied, following the adhesive instructions. Alternatively if the Tray
is worn, replace with the new tray, which has solid silver coloured rails. If the tray is damaged with any
rough or sharp corners, it should also be replaced.
•
Maximum Loading on a Saturn chair should not exceed:
SATURN 1 – 40 Kgs
SATURN 2 – 60 Kgs
SATURN 3 – 80 Kgs
SATURN 4 – 100 Kgs
