MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

®
Your Invacare wheelchair is easy to keep clean and in good condition. Just fol-
low the instructions below.
Cleaning
• Wipe metal sections and the upholstery regularly with a damp cloth. A mild
detergent may be used. If necessary, the upholstery can be washed at 40ºC.
Ordinary washing powder/liquid can be used.
• For disinfection use a damp cloth and an alcohol based (max. 70%) deter-
gent.
Washing and Disinfection
1. Remove all loose and removable covers and wash these in a washing machine
following the washing instructions for each article.
2. Spray the wheelchair with detergent, for example a car-cleaning agent with
wax, and leave on to work.
3. Rinse the wheelchair with a high-pressure cleaning or ordinary jet of water
depending on how dirty the chair is. Do not aim the jet towards bearings and
draining holes. If the wheelchair is washed in a machine the water must not
be hotter than 60 degrees.
4. Spray the chair with alcohol for disinfection.
5. Leave the chair to dry in a drying cabinet. Remove parts where water has
collected for example in end tubes, ferrules etc. If the chair has been washed
in a machine, blow-drying with compressed air is recommended.
Wheels and tyres
• Wheel axles are to be wiped clean and lubricated with a drop of oil.
• Pneumatic tyres have valves similar to those on a car tyre, and the tyres can
be pumped up using the same type of pump used for cars.
• The recommended pressure is written on the side of the tyre
• If you need advice or service e.g. in case of a puncture contact your sup-
plier.
When inflating tyres there is a risk of explosion if over inflated.
Technical servicing
• Only original parts or those approved and fulfilling the Invacare
may be used.
• All technical servicing is to be carried out by an authorised wheelchair tech-
nician or by the Invacare
