NOTE: Every six (6) months, take your wheelchair to a qualified technician for a thorough inspection and servicing.
Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of your wheelchair. To operate
properly and safely, your wheelchair must be cared for just like any other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend
the life and efficiency of your wheelchair. Clean upholstery with mild soap and water or spray disinfectant using a
sponge. DO NOT use bleach or wash in a washing machine.
Initial adjustments should be made to suit your personal body structure, preference and abilities. Thereafter follow
