Cleaning
To clean your wheelchair, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Certain components can be easily maintained by yourself so as to ensure smooth operation of
your wheelchair:
• Hair and/or dirt particles may accumulate between the caster wheel and fork, this can
restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Thoroughly clean between the fork and
caster wheels/axle using a soft cloth and if required a mild detergent.
• The rear wheels and caster wheels can be supplied as a quick-release axle system.
To keep this system operational, ensure no dirt/grit adheres to the quick-release axle or
axle housing. Lightly lubricate the quick-release axle regularly with resin-free sewing
machine oil.
• If your wheelchair gets wet, towel dry it as soon as possible.
• Do not use your wheelchair in salt water, as sand, salt and/or other particles will cause
corrosion and cause damage to wheel bearings.
• Check the tightness of all screw connections regularly. If any screw connection persists in
becoming loose, consult your authorized dealer immediately!
