Maintenance
Whenever any part of your wheelchair is not functioning properly, a hazardous
situation could result. Periodic inspection, adjustment and replacement of
worn parts will provide many years of trouble free performance.
Upholstery cleaning
Use hand warm soapy water.
Caution! Do not use paint remover, or solvents on the upholstery.
Metal Parts
Clean all metal parts with warm soapy water.
Caution! Do not use strong detergents, abrasive cleaner or any other material
that will scratch the finish
Tyres
Periodically examine tyres for wear and replace as needed. Pneumatic tyres
should be checked weekly and kept properly inflated (see tyre side wall for
recommended inflation level). Solid tyres should be replaced when they
become loose on the rim or when they are cracked or worn.
Stability
You should always be aware of your surroundings and take care not to enter
a situation where your wheelchair may become unstable. This would generally
be due to adverse inclines or uneven ground.
Lap Belt Adjustment
Your lap belt is a standard feature on your wheelchair which has been factory
fitted. Your dealer should demonstrate how the lap belt should be adjusted.
The purpose of the lap belt is to ensure that the user is seated in their most
comfortable, safe position.
Adjustment of your lap belt
Ensure that you are sitting back fully into the seat with the pelvis as upright as
possible and not leaning to one side.
Close the buckle and position the belt so that the hip bones can be felt above
the lap belt.
Adjust the strap length by pulling on the open end of the belt. As a guide, the
belt should be adjusted so that there is sufficient room for two fingers to slide
between your body and the belt.
Warning: Should any damage occur to the lapbelt, please replace
immediately. The user should transfer to a bespoke vehicle seat whilst
being transported. DO NOT sit in the wheelchair whilst in any moving
vehicle.
