folded wheelchair between the front and the rear seats inside the car ensuring that
the wheelchair is in a sure and stable position. If it is not possible the wheelchair
should be fasten with the safety belt.

on the wheelchair is not allowed. The chair should be folded and safely
immobilized.
Reuse

Parts, which should be regularly inspected
Part name
Control type
Control frequency
Tyres
Tyre pressure, condition of tread and tyres. One should take
care, to keep the pressure in both tyres on the same level.
Harder tyres provide better maneuverability of the wheelchair
and larger easiness of driving, but they reduce the comfort on
uneven surface.
At least once a week
Spokes
Loose spokes can cause deformation of the rear wheels. Contact
your point of sale or local bicycle service to manage the problem
of loose spokes.
If the problem occurs
Wheel axles
Remove the hair or accumulated dirt
If necessary
Push Rims
Excessively scratched push rims ought to be exchanged
because they can wound the user’s hands during driving the
wheelchair
If necessary
Brakes
The braking force depends on the tyre pressure. The efficiency
of brake operation can be also affected with dirt accumulated on
tyres. Keep the brakes clean wiping them with a damp cloth to
remove dirt, and also lubricating the funnel of screws, on which
the brake levers turn.
Control the correctness of brake operation
at least once a month
Frame
Maintain the wheelchair in the highest cleanness for better
comfort of the user.
At least once a month
Turning wheels
The area between the fork and the front wheel should be kept
clean, because of dirt accumulating there, which can cause
faster wear of turning wheel bearings. To do so, one should
disassemble the front wheel by unscrewing it from the fork,
remove all dirt, and then preserve the metal elements of the
wheel (i.e. technical grease).
The maintenance ought to be made once a
month or often depending on the soiling
degree.
Detachable
elements
Check condition of detachable elements of the wheelchair, if
screws are loosen they should be tighten.
In case of intensive exploitation of the
wheelchair the inspection should be carry
out once a month.
(If equipped)
Quick-release
axles of the
rear wheels
One should clean and then lubricate lightly the quick-release
axles of the rear wheels, with a damp cloth the slots of fixing the
quick-release axles ought to be cleaned up from all dirt. The
wheel should be laid on the base, resting on the push rim (never
opposite way, because the quick-release axle can be soil, which
can cause its seizing in the main axle opening. In case of solid
particles occurring on the surface of the quick-release axle of
the wheel, using is not allowed.
Lubricating should be carried out
periodically.
