KEEPING YOUR CHAIR IN GOOD CONDITION

Your powerchair will benefit from periodic inspection, adjustment and replacement of worn parts. Regular maintenance will enhance:-

•Reliable performance.

•Safety.

•Extended battery life.

•Confidence in operation.

•Low operating costs.

You can help keep your chair in good condition by following a simple guide to home maintenance.

CHROME/PAINTWORK

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.

UPHOLSTERY

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.

BATTERIES

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.
