Cleaning

Clean your chair regularly. Cleaning often will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of your
chair.

Cleaning the Frame

1. If your chair has a painted frame, use a soft clean cloth with soap and water to clean the frame. Immediately dry
all components and parts that become wet.
Note: Do NOT use Scotch Brite™ pads, steel wool, abrasive cleaners or petroleum-derived products to clean a
painted aluminum or titanium frame.

Cleaning the Upholstery

1. Regularly hand-wash the seat sling and back upholstery using water and a mild detergent. Always allow the
upholstery to air dry before riding in the chair.
2. NEVER machine wash the upholstery, and NEVER machine dry the upholstery.
3. When washing the upholstery, carefully check for sagging, rips or tears. If you find any rips or tears, you MUST
order new upholstery.
4. After washing the seat sling, always check the tension while seated in the chair to ensure the sling does not touch
the crosstube beneath the seat sling.

Axles and Moving Parts

Clean axles and other moving parts weekly with a slightly damp, but not wet, cloth. Try to wipe away any lint, dust
or dirt on these parts that could interfere with their smooth operation. DO NOT use WD-40
penetrating lubricants on quick-release or quad-release axles. Instead, as indicated in the chart under "Safety
Inspections and Maintenance," ALWAYS use either a "dry" Teflon®-based lubricant or a "dry" silicone spray as a
lubricant.

Storage

1. Always store your chair in a clean, dry location. Excessive dirt can cause moving parts to become damaged or
fail. Moisture can rust or corrode the non-titanium components of your chair.
2. Always fully inspect your chair after it has been stored for any period before riding in it. See the chart under
"Safety Inspections and Maintenance" on pages 2-1 to 2-3.
3. If you store your chair for more than three (3) months, have your chair inspected by an authorized TiLite supplier.
