Care
Your trivida wheels include movable parts and fits with
safety-relevant functions. With adequate care their
functionality is maintained for a long time.
Clean the wheelchair regularly using a soft, damp cloth
and a gentle, non-abrasive cleaning agent
and ensure that:
Your trivida wheels are dried after use
in wet conditions.
The quick-release axles are lubricated every 8
weeks with a drop of sewing machine oil.
The fits between the wheel segments and the
segment clamp are dust- and dirt-free.
You store the wheels in a dry place at room
temperature for long periods of non-use. Intensive
sunlight should be avoided. Check the wheels
before recommissioning.
Sand, seawater or gritting salt should be removed
quickly and thoroughly if the wheels have come
into contact with these elements.
All contact surfaces should be kept hygienically
clean. Use an antibacterial and fungicidal
disinfectant for the spray disinfection, according to
the standards EN 1040, EN 1276 or EN 1650. Pay
attention to the manufacturer's instructions for
use.

Maintenance & reuse
An annual inspection of the trivida wheels by us or your
dealer is recommended. If the wheels are passed on to
another user, the wheels should undergo a full service
before being used again.
Ensure that the applicable hygiene
regulations are observed.
The preload of the segment clamp and
its function must be checked.
The tyre segments must be checked for wear
(profile depth) and damage.
The bearings have lifelong lubrication.
The wheel must be disinfected (see
6. Care
).
The side tongue and groove locks on the wheel
segments must be checked.
All wear parts must be checked and if necessary
replaced with original spare parts.
The secure position of all parts must be checked.
Significant changes to the wheels are only
permitted within the framework of the
maintenance work in conjunction with a new
conformity assessment procedure.
If the type plate is damaged or becomes illegible, a
new type plate must be requested from P+L
Innovations GmbH.
The inspection and all work must be documented and
added to the wheel documents (P. 11).

Disposal/Recycling
When selecting the materials used for the trivida
products we pay attention to safety, sustainability,
health and environmental compatibility. So that our
commitment is successful, we rely on your cooperation
and support. Therefore, please observe the following
instructions regarding materials and their disposal, as
well as the local circumstances. All parts of the trivida
wheels can generally be recycled.
Information on the materials used can be found in
chapter 3 "Product descriptions". Our packaging is
climate-neutral. The packing bags for the quick-release
axles are made from soft polyethylene.
Contact your local waste disposal centre regarding
disposal. Your dealer may also accept the wheels and
can dispose of these in the proper manner.

Troubleshooting
Assembly on wheelchair difficult:
The two parking brakes must be open to exchange
the wheels.
Check whether the axles fit.
Keep the assembly bush and quick-release axle
running smoothly with some sewing machine oil.
Wheelchair twists in one direction:
Rule out that other factors at your wheelchair have
caused the problem.
