8.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
8.3 Lighting maintenance
DANGER!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task. If your lights and
indicator system shows a defect, please contact your Sunrise Medical
authorized dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no maintenance
units. There are no light bulbs used. The high intrinsic reliability of these units
means that they are extremely unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure
should occur (maybe as a result of an impact), the damaged light assembly
must be replaced in its entirety. The individual LED’s cannot be replaced.
CAUTION!
1.
We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare parts only.
2.
Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically protected. In the
event of a short circuit, current will be limited to a safe level. Once the
fault is removed the system resets automatically.
8.4 Cleaning and disinfection
The wheelchair should be wiped down once per week with a slightly damp,
not wet, cloth and any fl uff or dust that has accumulated around the motors
should be blown or dusted away.
CAUTION!
Ensure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it becomes wet or damp
after cleaning or if it is used in a wet or damp environment.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than one person it
is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross infection.
Hygiene measures when being re-used
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All
surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated with a
disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection of medical products and medical devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer’s instructions for the disinfectant
you are using.
CAUTION!
1.
Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax
polishes, or aerosols.
2.
Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
3.
Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly.
WARNING!
1.
Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning
substances.
2.
Always follow the instructions carefully.

8.5 Medium to long term storage
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in excess of one
week), follow these simple instructions:
1.
Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
2.
Disconnect the charger.
3.
Disconnect the batteries.
WARNING!
Never store your wheelchair:
1. Outside.

extend battery lifetime.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect the batteries/battery
boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours before use.
