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 service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer
to agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
For the maintenance manual, refer to the Vermeiren website: www.vermeiren.com.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
 All parts: Present and undamaged or unworn.
 All parts: Clean, see § 5.2.2.
 Footrests: Well secured.
 Condition of wheels/tyres, see §5.2.1.
 Condition of frame parts: No deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections.
 Seat, backrest, arm pads: No excessive wear (like dented spots, damage or tears).
 Brakes: undamaged and fully operational.
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.

Instructions for maintenance

5.2.1 Wheels and tyres
Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, and can change due to
wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, ...).
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and 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.
Inflate each pneumatic tyre to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
