ROUTINE CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
1. Upholstery
Upholstery should be routinely cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
Never use paint remover or thinners on upholstery.
2. Metal Parts
Clean all metal parts with a wax compound such as car wash to maintain
finish. Do not use any obtrusive cleanser that will scratch the finish on the
chair.
3. Cross Brace
Periodically lubricate the centre bolt on the cross brace with light machine oil.
4. Tyres and Wheels
Examine tyres regularly for wear and replace as necessary. Solid tyres should
be replaced when they become loose on the rim or cracks appear which
expose the mounting wire groove. For pneumatic tyres, check tyre pressure is
even and correct. Check that the wheels run freely.
If your wheelchair is fitted with pneumatic tires and you have a puncture
please take your wheelchair to the nearest dealer or bicycle repair center
5. Castors
Check periodically that the bolt and nut securing the wheel to the castor fork
is tight and allows a snug but free spinning fit.
6. Brakes
Regularly check for effective operation and there is no wear or signs of play.
7. General
Always check before use that the wheelchair folds and unfolds correctly and
that movement both backwards and forwards is in a straight line.
