remove gross soiling;
• wash again the wheelchair using just tepid water to remove detergent residuals;
• dry the wheelchair prior to further processing;
• visually inspect the cleanliness of the complete device;
• disinfect the wheelchair using alcohol (70-90%);
• be sure it is completely dry before proceeding with any other operation.
UPHOLSTERY
In case of no user change during the cleaning treatment:
• wash, rinse, dry and disinfect the upholstery using the same process used for the
frame;
• be sure the upholstery is completely dry before to re-assembly it again to the frame.
In case of different user after the cleaning treatment:
• in this case it is suggested to change seat and back-rest upholsteries with a new set.

damage, oxidation and faults in function. If any damage or faults are found, the involved
components should be removed for service, repair or replacement.
