9. CLEANING & RECYCLING
9.1 CLEANING
In order to lengthen the life of your wheelchair, it is suggested that you clean
the wheelchair periodically (if not daily), especially after it is used in the rain or
snow. We recommend that you don't use your wheelchair in the rain or snow.
If you are travelling and get caught in the rain, we suggest you try to find
shelter. If you can't find shelter, proceed to your destination.
Although your wheelchairs frame is aluminium, some parts such as screws
nuts and spokes of wheels will rust if exposed to water. Please dry the
wheelchair thoroughly if it is exposed to water. Please store in a dry place. Do
not clean with an abrasive material.
9.1.1 Frame
Wipe with a damp cloth.
9.1.2 Upholstery
When cleaning the upholstery, use warm water and a mild soap.
Upholstery cleaner/foam can also be used, but avoid other cleaning solvents.
9.2 POST-CONSUMER RECYCLING
A post-consumer recycling plan should follow the Environmental Protection
Administration's regulations. The items listed below are for reference only as
local laws and regulations may vary.

Aluminum-alloy

There are many organizations in many countries you can find on the Internet that
will accept used goods for charity. Please search the information highway to
help less fortunate individuals and protect our planet for future generations. If
you do not have access to the world wide web please use your local phone
directory, ask for operator assistance or go to your local government centre for
more information. Earth Day is every day.
Check with your local recycling centre on where and how to recycle your
wheelchair as this information varies from region to region.
