Cleaning

Regular care and maintenance will prevent unnecessary
wear and damage to your wheelchair. The following is
general advice recommended by Permobil. For severe
soiling of the upholstery or damage to the surface finish,
contact Permobil for information.
Metal surfaces
For normal cleaning it is best to use a soft cloth/sponge,
hot water and a mild detergent. Wipe down carefully with
a cloth and water, and dry off.
Remove scuff marks from semi-matt surfaces with soft
wax (follow manufacturer's instructions).
Remove scuff marks and scratches from shiny surfaces
using car polish, either liquid or paste. After polishing, ap-
ply soft car wax to restore the original surface gloss.
Plastics
For normal cleaning, wash plastic surfaces with a soft
cloth, mild detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive
kitchen cleaners.
Upholstery, cloth/vinyl
For normal cleaning, wash the upholstery with lukewarm
water and a mild non-abrasive soap. Use a soft cloth or
brush. Before the surface dries, wipe off any water/soap
residues with a clean, dry cloth. This procedure may be
repeated to remove stubborn dirt or stains. Ink spots can
sometimes be removed by washing with soap and water
followed by isopropyl alcohol.
Do not use any cleaning method that is not listed above,
as other methods may attack the vinyl and cause even-
tual degradation.
If necessary, the cover may be removed before cleaning.
See also the washing instructions on the upholstery
materials.
Control panel
Use a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and be
careful when cleaning the joystick and the panel's dis-
play. Do not use solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
The panel must not be rinsed with water or any other
liquid.

WARNING!
