6. Care and maintenance
6.1 Care
Upholstered seat/backrest:
Clean the covers with warm water.
In the case of stubborn soiling, the
fabric can be washed with a stand-
ard washing powder for delicate
fabrics. Spots can be removed with
a sponge or a soft brush. Do not
soak! Do not use a washing ma-
chine!
Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents e.g. solvents, or hard
brushes etc.
Rinse with clear water and let get
dry.
Rinse with clean water and leave to
dry naturally. To disinfect, use com-
mercial brands and observe the in-
structions for use given on the prod-
uct.
Plastic parts:
The side panel on the side section
and some other elements are of
high quality plastic. Take care of
these by means of standard plas-
tics cleaning agents. Always observe
the specific product information.

Finish:
The high quality surface finish guarantees
optimal protection against corrosion. If the
surface finish is damaged by scratches or
similar, touch it up with a varnish pen avail-
able from us. Occasional application of a light
cover of oil to all moving parts (see also Main-
tenance Instructions) will ensure that your
wheelchair will give you many years of serv-
ice.
Tyres:
Check tyre pressure regularly. Ensure pres-
sure on both tyres is correct and equal.
Tyre pressure: see Technical data.
Check condition of tyres regularly (wear,
deterioration).
Chassis:
The chassis and wheels can be cleaned
with a damp cloth using a mild deter-
gent. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Check the chassis for corrosion and other
damage. Clean the plastic parts using a
mild commercial detergent suitable for
plastics.
Brakes:
Check that brakes are working properly
and are easy to use.
Removable parts:
Check that removable parts, e.g. leg
supports, armrests and driving wheels
are firmly and securely fixed in position.
Moving parts:
Check all moving parts are functional
and unobstructed.
6.2 Maintenance
To ensure safety and to prevent acci-
dents as a result of wear on components
going undetected, the wheelchair
should be checked and serviced annu-
ally by an ORTOPEDIA dealer. The
ORTOPEDIA dealer will check and main-
tain all safety-relevant parts of the wheel-
chair and check the operability and the
operational safety. The dealer can de-
tect the start of any wear and uses ex-
clusively original ORTOPEDIA spare parts
or parts tested and approved by us.

ting and adjustment carried out by the
