• All of the joints that are critical to using your wheelchair
safely are fitted with self-locking nuts. Check every 3
months to make sure that all bolts are secure (see the
page on torque).
• Self-locking nuts should only be used once and should
be replaced after single use.
• Use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair
is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the seat
upholstery.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after
use.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied
to quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recom-
mend taking your wheelchair to your authorised dealer
every 6 months, to have it inspected by trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can dam
age the bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean
the wheelchair thoroughly after exposure to these
conditions.
Hygiene when being reused:
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared
carefully, and be wiped and treated with spray disinfectant
on all surfaces which could come into contact with the
user. In doing this, you must use a disinfectant taken from
the DGHM list, e.g. Antifect Liquid (Schülke & Mayr) for
alcoholic quick disinfection for medical products and medi-
cal inventory when you require a quick effect. Please pay
attention to the manufacturer's instructions of the disinfec-
tant you are using. In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be
guaranteed on seams. We therefore recommend, that you
properly dispose of seat and back slings in the case of
microbacterial contamination with active agents according
to §6 infection protection law.
