MAINTENANCE
Your Panthera is constructed to be virtually maintenance free. A few parts do require regular checking
however. (Naturally you should clean and check the chair more often if you use it in more extreme
environments such as in sand or salt water.)
Once a month you should:
- Wipe the chair chassis over with car shampoo or washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. If very dirty
you can use a degreasing agent. Lubricate all moveable parts with a universal lubricant (5-56, WD-
40) after cleaning.
- Clean the castor fork casing (between the wheel and the fork). Hair and dust collect here which can
damage the bearing. Loosen the nut using key no. 10 while holding the bolt with key no. 10. Remove
the bolt and then the wheel. Clean the washers between the wheel and the fork and wipe the outside
of the wheel bearing with a cloth. Drop some oil into each bearing. Reassemble the parts.
- Lubricate the rear wheel axles. Remove the wheel and distribute some drops of oil over the axle.
You should do this more often if you drive in rain, sand, salt and slush or if you rarely remove the
wheels.
- Pump up the tyres. The tyres can be pumped by screwing the top off the valve and filling with air
using an appropriate valve adapter. The tyre can take 8 kg of pressure.
- Check that all the screws and nuts are securely fastened.
- Check that the chair has not been damaged. If damage has occurred, contact us immediately at
Panthera AB.
Twice a year you should:
- Lubricate the ball bearings for the brakes with some drops of oil..
- Lubricate the bearings in the joints of the backrest. Remove the nut using cap key no. 10 and hold
the bolt still with key no. 10. Lubricate the bearings with some drops of oil.
- Wash the seat upholstery, the back upholstery and the cushion cover in 40 degrees machine wash
when necessary.
