effect on the brake mechanism. The brakes should be checked at least once a month. In the event of
adjustments, see para 12:10.

WASHING THE FRAME

Both for your own comfort and the longevity of the chair, it is important to keep the wheelchair clean.
Twin is equipped with a drainage hole which ensures that it is easy to wash and keep clean.
Wash the chair with car shampoo or washing-up liquid. If the chair is particularly dirty, a grease
remover can be used.

TOUCH-UP PAINT

Small bottles of touch-up paint, to repair scratches and chips,are available in all Twin frame colours.
MISCELLANEOUS
If there is a fault on your wheelchair you should contact your dealer at once. Defective chairs not be
used. If your chair needs reconditioning or repair, only original Etac parts, or parts of equal quality,
as specified in our diagrams and manuals, should be used. Etac will not be held responsible for damage
or injury caused by use of no-original parts.
(!) If necessary, lubricate moving parts/joints with cycle oil or similar.
Check the tyre pressure (see side of tyre) at least once a month;
also check the tread.
Loose spokes can lead to wheel wobble. Consult a cycle dealer or your
wheelchair supplier if you need to adjust the spokes.
The axles should be kept free from dirt. Clean as necessary.
The ball bearings require no maintenance.
If a handrim should be damaged in such a way that could lead to hand
injury, it should be replaced.
To achieve the best operating conditions, the attachments should be
installed at the correct angle. Check also that the front forks are tightened
according to instructions, see para 7:4.
