8.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

8.3 Lighting maintenance

Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task. If your lights and indicator
system shows a defect, please contact your Sunrise Medical authorized dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no maintenance units.
There are no light bulbs used. The high intrinsic reliability of these units means
that they are extremely unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure should occur
(may be as a result of an impact) the damaged light assembly must be replaced in
its entirety. The individual LED's cannot be replaced.
CAUTION!
1. We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare parts only.
2. Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically protected. In the event
of a short circuit, current will be limited to a safe level. Once the fault is
removed the system resets automatically.

8.4 Cleaning and disinfection

The wheelchair should be wiped down once per week with a slightly damp, not
wet, cloth and any fl uff or dust that has accumulated around the motors should be
blown or dusted away.
CAUTION!
Ensure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it becomes wet or damp after
cleaning or if it is used in a wet or damp environment.
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than one person it is
cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross infection.
Hygiene measures when being re-used
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces
which come into contact with the user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid alcohol-based disinfection
of medical products and medical devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer's instructions for the disinfectant you
are using.

8.5 Medium to long term storage

When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in excess of one week),
follow these simple instructions:
1. Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
2. Disconnect the charger.
3. Disconnect the batteries.
Never store your wheelchair:
1. Outside.
2. In direct sunlight (plastic parts may discolor).
3. Near a source of direct heat.
4. In a damp environment.
5. In a cold environment.
6. With the batteries/battery boxes connected (even if the controller is
switched off ).
Avoiding all of the above will minimize battery deep cycle discharge and extend
battery lifetime.

boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours before use.
