Maintenance instructions

4.2.1 Wheels and tyres

Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, and can change due to
wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, ...).
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and fibres.
Check the profile of the tyres. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be replaced.
Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
Inflate each pneumatic tyre to the correct pressure (see pressure indication on the tyres).
4.2.2 Cleaning
CAUTION
Never use a hose or high-pressure cleaner to clean the wheelchair.
Wipe all rigid parts
If necessary, use a mild soap, suitable for varnishes and synthetics.
The upholstery can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents to clean.
4.2.3 Disinfection

Disinfections may only be undertaken by trained persons. Consult your specialist dealer.
