5: Final checks
1. Check that the pelvic strap or harness is secure and adjusted correctly.
2. Check that the cover is correctly fitted.
3. Check that the seat unit is located and locked correctly in the chassis.
4. Ensure the safety catch is locked.
6: Maintenance
Should a problem be found when carrying out the regular checks, it should be immediately
reported to the issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd.
6.1 Routine maintenance
The
user’s family can easily carry out the following tasks. No tools are required.
1. Always wipe the seat frame dry. Never put it away damp.
2. Check operation of the reclining mechanism (weekly).
3. Clean the seat frame when necessary (we suggest at least once a week).
If you find any faults refer to your issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd.
6.2 Six-monthly maintenance
Only someone who is a competent tradesman or repairer should carry out this work. If a
major fault is found stop using the seat until it has been corrected.
1.
Examine nuts, bolts, pivots and frame plugs for tightness and general condition.
2.
Check the Interface fits securely into the frame, and that it is not worn or damaged.
3.
Check the interface clips to ensure they can rotate freely and that the springs return
the clips to the closed position when released.
6.3 Three-yearly maintenance
1. The seat gas strut release head is cast aluminium and so we recommend this is
routinely replaced every three years.
For all other repairs refer to your issuing authority or Tendercare Ltd.
