C. MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Axles and Axle Sleeves:
Check axles and axle sleeves every six months to ensure they are tight.
Loose sleeves will damage the axle plate and will affect performance.
2. Tire Air Pressure:
Check air pressure in pneumatic tires at least ONCE A WEEK. The
wheel locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air pres-
sure shown on tire sidewall.
D. CLEANING
1. Paint Finish
a. Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap at least once a month.
b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax every
three months.
2. Axles and Moving Parts
a. Clean around axles and moving parts WEEKLY with a slightly
damp (not wet) cloth.
b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust or dirt on axles or moving
parts.
NOTE– You do not need to grease or oil the chair.
3. Upholstery
a. Hand-wash (machine washing may damage fabric).
b. Drip-dry only. DO NOT machine dry as heat will damage fabric.
E. HYGIENE MEASURES WHEN BEING RE-USED
1. Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared.
All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated
with a disinfection spray.
2. To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorized/recommended
in your country, for rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical prod-
ucts and medical devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
3. Please be aware of the manufacturer's instructions for the disinfectant
you are using.
4. In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on seams.
We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and back slings to
avoid micro-bacterial contamination with active agents according to
your local infection protection law.
F. STORAGE TIPS
1. Store your chair in a clean, dry area. If you fail to do so, parts may
rust or corrode.
2. Before using your chair, ensure it is in proper working order. Inspect
and service all items on the "Maintenance Chart".
3. If stored for more than three months, have your chair inspected by a
Sunrise Medical authorized dealer before use.
