Maintenance
Maintenance covered in this section can be carried out by the user. Other
maintenance work should be undertaken by the supplier’s qualified personnel in
your area or by the help centre. For information concerning repairs or service,
please apply to the help centre in your county.
Washing the frame
The frame should be washed regularly with mild soapy water. If the frame is very
dirty, a scouring agent may be used. The frame can also be flushed using a high
pressure jet spray. Spraying directly at the ball bearings using a high speed jet
spray should be avoided. Dry the wheelchair thoroughly after washing or when
it has been in the rain. If a scouring agent is used, movable parts should be re-
greased.
Cleaning seat and back covers
The seat cover, back cover and extra back cover can be washed at 60°C. See the
washing instructions on the different materials.
Conditions that can damage the wheelchair
The wheelchair should not be used in temperatures below –35°C or in excess of
60°. There are no restrictions with regard to humidity or atmospheric pressure.
Storing the wheelchair does not require any special conditions in addition to the
above.
Screws and nuts
Screws and nuts can become loose over time. Remember therefore to check
these at regular intervals and tighten where necessary. A screw locking device
such as Blue Locktite, no. 243, can be used. After a lock nut has been removed, it
loses some of its locking properties and should be replaced.
Driving wheels
The driving wheels have spokes. These should be adjusted at least once a year.
Apply to a local cycle dealer or to your nearest help centre.
Quick-release catch on wheels
The quick-release catch on the driving wheels requires regular inspection. Check
that the bearings work properly. The release bolt and bearings should be cleaned
and greased with oil regularly.
