Daily Checks
CAUTION!
As the user, you are the first person to notice any possible
defects. We therefore recommend that before each use,
you check the items in the following list:
•
Check for correct tyre pressures
•
Check that the brakes work correctly
•
Check that all removable parts are secure, e.g.
armrest, footrest, quick-release axle etc.
•
Check for visible damage e.g. on the frame, backrest,
seat sling and back sling, wheels, footplate etc
If there is any damage or malfunction, please contact your
authorised dealer.
Tyres and Mounting
WARNING!
Always make sure that you maintain the correct
tyre pressure (min. 3.5 bar) as this can have an effect on
wheelchair performance.
If the tyre pressure is too low, rolling resistance will
increase, requiring more effort to move the chair forward.
Low tyre pressure also has a negative impact on
manoeuvrability.
WARNING!
If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre could burst.
The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is printed on the
surface of the tyre (min. 3.5 bar).
Tyres can be mounted the same way as an
ordinary bicycle tyre.
Before installing a new inner tube, you should
always make sure that the base of the rim and interior of
the tyre
are free of foreign objects.
Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre
. It is critical to your safety
and to the wheelchair's performance that
regulation air pressure be maintained and
that tyres are in good condition.

Maintenance and Care
• Check the tyre pressure every 4 weeks. Check all tyres
for wear and damage.
• Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make
sure that they are working properly and are easy to use.
• Change tyres as you would an ordinary bicycle tyre.
• All of the joints 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.
• Please use only mild household cleansers when your
wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and water when
cleaning the seat upholstery.
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it
afterwards.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied
to quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we
recommend taking your wheelchair to your authorised
dealer every 6 months to have it inspected by trained
personnel.
CAUTION !
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage
the bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the
wheelchair thoroughly after exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent back to the
manufacturer/dealer for repair:
Rear wheels-Armrest-Footrest holder-Anti-Tip tubes
These components are available as spare parts.
For further information, please see the spare
parts catalogue.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the
user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant from the DGHM
list, e.g.Antifect Liquid (Schülke & Mayr) for rapid alcohol-
based disinfection for medical products and medical
devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
Please take into account the manufacturer's instructions
for the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed
on seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of
seat and back slings to avoid microbacterial contamination
with active agents according to § 6 infection protection
law.
