8.1.2 Maintenance tasks
To ensure smooth operation at all times, users or attendants with some technical skills can maintain some parts of
the product:
•
Bolted connections must be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or
after adjustments have been made to the wheelchair. If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact the
specialist dealer promptly.
•
Particles of dirt and hair accumulate on the caster wheel axle and threaded axle of the caster fork over time.
This makes the steering stiffer. Regularly remove dirt and oil the axles. See the section "Approach in case of
stiffness".
