Care and maintenance

Regular care and maintenance will prevent unnecessary wear and damage to
your wheelchair. The following is general advice recommended by Permobil.
For severe soiling of the upholstery or damage to the surface finish, contact
Permobil for information.
Upholstery, cloth/vinyl
For normal cleaning, wash the upholstery with lukewarm water and a mild non-
abrasive soap. Use a soft cloth or brush. Before the surface dries, wipe off any
water/soap residues with a clean, dry cloth. This procedure may be repeated to
remove stubborn dirt or stains.
If necessary, the cover may be removed before cleaning. See also the washing
instructions on the upholstery materials.
metal surfaces
For normal cleaning it is best to use a soft cloth/sponge, hot water and a mild
detergent. Wipe down carefully with a cloth and water, and dry off.
Remove scuff marks from semi-matt surfaces with soft wax (follow manufac-
turer's instructions).
Remove scuff marks and scratches from shiny surfaces using car polish, either
liquid or paste. After polishing, apply soft car wax to restore the original surface
gloss.
Plastics
For normal cleaning, wash plastic surfaces with a soft cloth, mild detergent and
hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or
abrasive kitchen cleaners.
