Vermeiren Inovys II User Manual page 25

4 Maintenance
Your wheelchair requires minimum maintenance, but it is advisable to inspect the wheelchair
regularly in order to drive trouble-free for years.
4.1 Points of maintenance
CAUTION
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.
The last page of this manual contains a registration form for the specialist dealer to record
each service.
The service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer to
agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
•
All parts: Present and undamaged or unworn.
•
All parts: Clean, see § 4.2.2.
•
Wheels, seat, leg rests, arm rests, foot rests, footplates and headrest (if applicable): Well
secured.
•
Condition of wheels/tyres, see § 4.2.1.
•
Condition of brakes, see § 4.2.1.
•
Condition of frame: No deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections
•
Seat, backrest, arm pads, leg pads and head rest (if applied): No excessive wear (like
dented spots, damage or tears).
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Yearly or more often
Have your wheelchair inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year, or
more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed on with your specialist dealer.
If stored
Make sure that your wheelchair is stored dry to prevent mould from growing and the upholstery
from being damaged.
4.2 Instructions of maintenance
4.2.1 Wheels and tyres
Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, that can change due to
wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, ...).
•
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and carpet fibres.
•
Check the profile of the tyres. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be
replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
