Page 15: Recycle And Repainting

Page 16: Nyloc Nuts
A component strip down and repaint may require the removal of caution and information labels. R Healthcare have reduced direct chair labelling to a minimum for practical reasons, but as a result of our experiences of actual incidents in the field, we believe that some important permanent caution labelling to particular features of a wheelchair is still necessary to remind users of important safety aspects. -
