Maintenance Schedule
Care for Your Chair
• The seat and backrest upholstery can be removed by loosening the screws and wiping with a wet
sponge and a mild detergent. All other components can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Check tyre condition at least twice per month.
• Check that rear wheel spokes are not loose. Loose wheel spokes can reduce the strength of the rims
and must be safely adjusted by a qualified technician.
• Always keep rear wheel quick release axles clean and free from dirt and hair build up.
• Should push rims become scratched these should be de-burred or replaced to avoid damage to skin
• Brakes should be checked regularly.
