9.0 Maintenance and care

Safety Check

As the user you will be the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use, you
check the following:
that the tyre pressure is correct.
that the brakes work correctly.
that all removable parts are securely fastened (e.g. armrests,
footrest hangers, quick-release axles ...).
if there is any damage/defect, please contact your authorised
dealer.
Maintenance
• Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
• Check all tyres for wear and damage at regular intervals, at
least annually. Change the tyres as soon as there is any sign
of damage or wear.
• Check the seat and back sling for wear and damage at regular
intervals, at least annually. Change these items as soon as
there is any sign of damage or wear.
• Check all frame and backrest components for wear and
damage at regular intervals, at least annually. Change these
items as soon as there is any sign of damage or wear.
• Check the brakes for wear and damage at regular intervals, at
least annually. Check that they are working properly and are
easy to use. Change the brakes as soon as there is any sign
of damage or wear.
• All of the screws that are critical to using your wheelchair
safely are self-locking nuts. Please check every three months
to make sure that all bolts are secure (see the section on
torque). Safety nuts should only be used once and should be
replaced after use.
• which are critical to using the wheelchair safely have safety
nuts. Safety nuts should only be used once and should be
replaced after use.
• You should only use genuine parts approved by Sunrise
Medical. Do not use parts from other manufacturers, that have
not been by authorised by Sunrise Medical.
NOTE:
If torque settings are given, then we strongly recommend that
you use a torque measuring device, in order to check that you
have tightened to the correct torque.
Please use only mild household cleansers when your
wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning the
seat upholstery and lap belt.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend
taking your wheelchair to your authorised dealer regularly, but
at least within a year, to have it maintained by trained
personnel.
CAUTION:
Sand, salt and sea water can damage the bearings of the front
and rear wheels. Clean and dry the wheelchair carefully, after
they have been exposed to these elements.

Hygiene when being reused
When the chair is to be reused, it should be prepared carefully,
and be wiped and treated with spray disinfectant on all surfaces
which could come into contact with the user.
If you need to do this quickly, you must use a liquid, alcohol
based disinfectant suitable for medical products and devices.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.
In general, a safe disinfectant cannot be guaranteed on seams.
We therefore recommend, that you properly dispose of seat and
back slings in the case of micro bacterial contamination with
active agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
Storage:
The wheelchair should always be stored in a dry place.
