maintenance will enhance:-
• Reliable performance.
• Safety.

• Confidence in operation.
• Low operating costs.
You can help keep your chair in good condition by following a simple guide to home maintenance.
CHROME/P
AINTWORK
This should be dried after contact with moisture. Clean once a month with a good quality auto-wax. Do not
use abrasive cleaners such as chrome cleaner or scouring cleaners as these will scratch the finish.
Do not store your chair in damp conditions.
UPHOLSTER
Y
The upholstery on the powerchair is vinyl or „Plush“ cloth material. Occasionally wipe with a damp cloth
moistened with soapy water. DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners as this may damage the fabric
or vinyl coating.
Vinyl upholstery will become hard and prone to cracking if the special coating, which is applied to maintain
flexibility is removed by the abrasive, chemical cleaners or solvents.
Ultra-violet light can also reduce the life of the upholstery coating. This is a normal ageing process,
necessary precautions should be taken to guard against periods of long-term exposure to sunlight.
The result of these conditions cannot be covered by the specified warranty period.
BA
TTERIES
Keep your batteries well charged (see ‘advice on batteries and battery charging’ booklet). Keep batteries
in a dry, frost-proof place. Be sure battery terminals remain tight and not corroded.
FOOTRESTS
Footrests are easily adjusted for height, clamp nuts must be securely tightened. Do not stand on the
footplates.
CABLES AND CONNECTIONS
On a weekly basis, inspect all plug connections to be sure they are securely attached. A visual inspection
is usually adequate.
Ensure locking safety catch operates correctly and secures motor plugs.
Inspect all wires for worn insulation. If any are found they should be replaced immediately. Make sure
cables and wires are secured, and that they are routed away from any moving parts.
TYRES
Check the tread on your tyres regularly. Tyre pressure - inflate to recommended pressure as indicated in
the technical information section. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure indicated on the tyre.
Moulded tyres do not require pneumatic pressure, check periodically for wear.
