INSPECTION
Depending on the amount of use, in principle we recommend inspections every two years, but at least
before usage is resumed. The following checks, at least, must be performed and documented by
authorised persons:
•
Check the frame parts for plastic deformation and reduced functioning.
•
Visual inspection of damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion)
•
Visually check the covers for damage
•
Check the castors work properly (run freely, run straight, parking brakes)
•
Check that all screws and bolts are tight and well-seated
•
The greasing condition of metal joints of movable parts
•
Visually check all plastic parts for tears and brittle spots
•
Check the legrest works properly (locking, load, deformation, wear and tear caused by weight,
adjustment lever)
•
Check, including visually, that the pneumatic springs work (incl. the adjusting lever)
•
Completeness of the delivery condition
•
Instruction manual available?
The service must only be confirmed in the service plan when at least the above-mentioned aspects
have been checked. If your specialist dealer does not perform the required services, then contact the
manufacturer. We shall gladly refer you to authorised specialist dealers in your area.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by lack of inspections or poor inspections.
CARE
Your wheelchair requires regular care to keep it in a pleasant condition. To do this, note the following:
l
Never use steam or pressure jets.
•
COVERS
Clean the covers with a cloth moistened by hot water. You can remove stubborn dirt by washing with a
mild commercial detergent. Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush. Do not use
sharp brushes or any other pointed objects for cleaning.
L
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
l
We do not accept liability for damage caused by the use of improper cleaning liquids.
l
Do not allow the covers to get too wet.
•
PLASTIC PARTS
Clean all plastic parts with commercial plastic cleaners. Take note of any specific product information.
•
SURFACE LAYERS
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer layer
has been damaged by scratches or otherwise, you can protect the area by applying varnish obtainable
from your specialist dealer. Occasional greasing of the movable parts will ensure that you enjoy your
wheelchair for a long time.
