7.0 Wheelchair cleaning and maintenance

7.1 Recommended checks

7.2 Cleaning the wheelchair

7.3 Service and maintenance

Your wheelchair is designed to require the minimum amount of maintenance. Your dealer, or

repair/contractor, is equipped with facilities, including maintenance and spare parts manuals, to

carry out repairs/maintenance to keep the wheelchair and user mobile in the event of a problem

or accident.

7.1 Recommended checks

We recommend that users carry out the following checks prior to using the wheelchair

Brakes: -

• Check that the brakes are securely attached and operating correctly.

Front wheels (castors): -

• Check that they are free to rotate, and that the castors swivel freely and are not damaged.

• Check the castor mounting for tightness and play.

Rear wheels: -

• Check that the wheel spokes of any self-propelling wheelchairs are not loose or

damaged.

• Check for any flexing or excess movement in the wheels.

• Check the tyre pressures are correct for pneumatic tyres 375Kpa (60psi)

Upholstery: -

• Check the seat and backrest for any damage, tears, cuts, etc. Damaged upholstery may

need replacing. Check the retaining screws for damage and tightness.

Folding Pivot Points, Footplate Pivot, Hinge Pins: -

• Occasional (every 12 months) lubrication of pivot points (using Three-in-one oil or similar

light oil) will ensure ease of operation.

Handgrips: -

• Check that the handgrips on the push handles are secure and not damaged.

We recommend that, at least once a year, your dealer or repair contractor carry out a

thorough inspection and service of your wheelchair.

7.2 Cleaning the wheelchair

If dirty or dusty, the upholstery should be wiped with a damp cloth. Marks may be removed with

tepid soapy water.

If dirty, the paintwork may be cleaned with a damp cloth and the paintwork protected by applying

a household polish or proprietary car wax in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
