6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Mobile Air Chair will require routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but
others may require assistance from an authorised Aspire Dealer. By following the maintenance checks in this
section as scheduled, you can help ensure your Mobile Air Chair gives you years of trouble-free operation.
If you have any questions regarding maintenance of your Mobile Air Chair contact your authorised
Aspire Dealer.
6.1 REGULAR CLEANING
The materials used for your Mobile Air Chair’s upholstery are resistant to most everyday environmental
factors. They will remain in good condition if they are regularly maintained (at least once per month).
To do this:
• Regularly dust and clean
• Use soapy water and then rinse with clean water (not excessively)
• Remove all stains as quickly as possible
• Regularly remove sweat marks
• Avoid prolonged exposure to any heat source
• DO NOT
use undiluted alcohol, solvents, detergents, corrosive cleaning products, perchlorethylene,
waxes, trichloroethylene
• DO NOT
use hard brushes or any other pointed object to clean the DARTEX cover
• To remove any stubborn stains, use bleach or 10% alcohol diluted in water. Rinse with clean water (not
excessively)
• Some stains can be reduced, though not removed, after cleaning. These include: ink, coffee, wine,
alcohol, blood, urine, food, chocolate, ketchup etc. and some colourants used in clothing such as jeans.
Aidacare is not liable for residual stains resulting from outside pollutants
• If used for multiple patients, the Aspire Mobile Air Chair should be cleaned and disinfected after each
use
6.2 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
• Upholstery: Check the tension and general condition of the upholstery and existing pads
They should not be undone, torn or not attached correctly
• Fastenings: All parts should be tightened sufficiently, but not excessively leading to damage
Never use a chair if fastenings are loose
• Castors: Regularly check the condition of the castors, their wear and the performance of their braking
system
• They should always be free of foreign matter (hair, lint etc)
6.3 BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safety and product longevity, your Mobile Air Chair should be serviced every 6 months.
For replacement of parts, only Aidacare Aspire parts should be used. Any change or repair using parts from
another source voids the warranty, and Aidacare will accept no responsibility for the chair in this case.
• Check all fastenings and hinge pins, with systematic replacement of all loosened nuts and worn screws
(damaged thread, reduced screw section, rust traces)
• Lubricate the hinge pins
• Check the welding, with systematic replacement of parts whose welding has cracks, come off, tear off,
and is twisted, out of shape or buckled
• Inspect all castors that are equipped with brakes and systematically replace if their performance is
uncertain
• Check locking and adjusting systems. Systematically replace if they do not work properly and if there is
a risk to the user or attendant
• Check the axial and radial play of the wheel pivot is minimal and there is no abnormal noise when they
are rotating
• Inspect the castor & tyre treads and systematically replace if they are cut, cracked, torn or worn
• Inspect the upholstery and systematically replace if sewing is undone and fabric is torn, cut, has holes
or is worn
• Once the above checks have been completed, check the functionality of the chair and it’s accessories:
wheel rotation, braking, rolling, angle and chair stability
