4.3.2 Plastic parts
Clean plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Only use a soft
brush or soft sponge.
Examples of plastic parts are the splash guards, tyres and ... .
4.3.3 Coating
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the
outer coat is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to
repair the affected surface.
When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes
and cloths. Ensure that no wetness gets into the tubes.
Initially the zinc parts only require rubbing with a dry cloth. Stubborn dirt can best be
removed by using a suitable commercial zinc polish.
4.4
Inspection
In principle we recommend one inspection every year, and a minimum of one before usage
is resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized
persons:
•
Check the frame parts and the hinged tubes for plastic deformation, cracks and
impaired functioning.
•
Visually check for damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion)
•
Check the operation of the wheels (free running, level rolling, axle play, tyres, profile,
condition of the rims, air pressure in the case of air tyres, floating axles, etc.)
•
Check the solidity and seating of all screws.
•
Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of movable parts.
•
The condition and security of the guides and axles of the steering wheels.
•
Visually check all plastic parts for cracks and brittle spots.
•
Check the functioning of the splash guards and footplate (locking, load, deformation,
wear caused by loads).
•
Check the operation of other detachable parts (example: personal safety belt, fitting
back/seat, etc.)
•
Completeness of the delivery condition, instruction manual available?
The service must only be signed off in the maintenance plan if a minimum of all the above-
mentioned aspects have been checked.
