Plastic Parts; Protective Outer Layer; Electronics; Disinfection - Vermeiren RAPIDO Instruction Manual

Do not use harsh cleaning agents like solvents or a hard brush.
We do not accept liability for damage caused by the use of improper cleaning agents.
Fabric covers should not be soaked.
Steam cleaning is not suitable and you have no warranty claims when that is used.

PLASTIC PARTS

All plastic parts should be treated with commercial plastic cleaners taking note of the special product
information.

PROTECTIVE OUTER LAYER

The special surface treatment guarantees optimal protection agains corrosion. If this is damaged by,
for example, scratches, these could be improved by using a varnish tack available from your dealer.
The movable parts (see also Section "Servicing") should be greased from time to time to ensure that
you can enjoy your wheelchair for a long time.
Chromed parts require dry rubbing. Dull spots or persistent dirt can be removed by using a suitable
chrome polish.
Light greasing with vaseline prevents early dulling of chromed steel.
To keep wheelchair in a good condition for a long time, we recommend that you have it inspected
annually by your dealer. You could confirm these inspections in the "Service plan" Section.
The manufacturer does not accept liability for damage/injury caused by poor servicing and
care.

ELECTRONICS

The steering unit should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use any scrubbing liquids or sharp-
edged polishing tools (metal scourer, brush, etc.), since they scratch the surface and remove the
moisture protection.
Check regularly whether the plug-in connections are corroded or damaged. If so, the operation
of the electronic parts can be affected.
Make sure that the batteries are disconnected from the electronics when cleaning and
servicing to prevent unintentional currents.

DISINFECTION

Only a skilled hygienist or someone appointed by him may disinfect the wheelchair.
All parts of the wheelchair can be treated by an epidemic disinfection. Before passing it on to another
user, all surfaces of a system or a product must be disinfected, at least once a year (e.g. when it is
inspected) or when it is known that the user is infected. Then the legal epidemic measures must be
carried out.
Only skilled persons trained in the functioning of disinfectants and authorised to apply these
Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent skin irritation and study the product information of
the substances used.
Application by unauthorised persons is done at your own risk.
Damage and injuries caused by improper implementation, are not the liability of the wheelchair
manufacturer.
