Cleaning And Maintenance; General Care - Probasics K4 Deluxe Mode D'emploi

RAMPS
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength
before attempting to use a wheelchair ramp without
assistance. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be
demonstrated by a qualified professional. Assistance is highly
recommended when going up or down inclines greater
than 10°.
If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden abrupt movement
when you resume movement. Sudden movement could cause
instability. Attempting to use the wheel locks could result in
accidental locking, tipping to one side, or cause a sudden stop.
Avoid changing direction when going down an incline, as this
could result in instability and tipping over.
NOTE: ALWAYS DO NOT
use the hand rims for self-propulsion.
grip the rear wheels themselves, as this may cause injury to user
or excess wear to tires.

wheelchair in good working condition and avoid premature
wear, damage and injury.

dry, soft cloth. use harsh abrasive materials when
cleaning. Dry the chair immediately if exposed to moisture.
WHEELS
Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a month
to ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles or is loose, release
lock nut and tighten axle bolt slightly.
Check the wheels and casters for rips, wear or cracks regularly.
Immediately replace if any of these imperfections exist.
DRIVE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT:
Inspect the wheels and quick
release axle shafts at least once a month. Correct any side play
by tightening the lock nut on the axle shaft just enough to
remove the side play but still allowing the wheel to turn freely.

light machine oil should be used to lubricate the axle shaft.
Broken spokes should be replaced immediately.
