The service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer to
agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
Read the user instructions of the applied battery charger regarding maintenance.
For the maintenance manual, refer to the Vermeiren website: www.vermeiren.com.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
• All parts: present and undamaged or worn.
• All parts: clean, see § 4.2.2.
• Wheels, seat, calf rests, arm rests, footplate and headrest (if applied): well secured.
• Battery status: charge the battery when necessary, see §3.8.
• Operating console, battery, power module, motors, battery charger, lights and relevant
cables: no damage such as wires that have become frayed, broken or exposed.
• Condition of wheels/tyres, see § 4.2.1.
• Condition of frame parts: no deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections.
• Seat, backrest, arm pads, calf pads and head rest (if applied): no excessive wear (like
dented spots, damage or tears).
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Every month
If your wheelchair is stored for a longer period, you still need to charge the batteries every month.
It is also possible to keep the battery charger connected to the battery and the mains during this
period. For more information, see §3.8.
Yearly or more often
Have your wheelchair inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year, or
more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed upon with your specialist dealer.
If stored
Make sure that your wheelchair is stored in a dry environment to prevent mould from growing, or
the upholstery from being damaged.
4.2 Instructions for maintenance
4.2.1 Wheels and tyres
• Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and fibres.
• Check the profile of the tyres. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be
replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
• Inflate the pneumatic tyres to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
• For instructions on how to change the tyres, see the installation manual.
