WEEKLY INSPECTIONS
Brake tests are made on an even floor, with at least one meter of free space around the wheelchair.
Switch on the control system. Check that the light bar is lit in one second or flashes slowly. Push the
joystick slowly forwards until you hear the parking brakes working. The wheelchair may start
moving. Release the joystick immediately, and you should be able to hear the sound of the brakes
operating in a few seconds. Repeat this test three times also by pushing the joystick backwards, and
to the left and right.
Check the operation of the lights, turn indicators and the balance adjustment. If the wheelchair has
an electrically adjustable back and/or foot rest, also check their operation. In problem situations, do
not use the wheelchair, but contact service.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION THE WHEELCHAIR
Clean the wheelchair with a moist soft fabric and diluted cleaning fluid. Avoid the use of undiluted
cleaning fluids as these may damage the plastic and fabric parts of the wheelchair. Follow the
recommendations set by the cleaning fluid manufacturers regarding the different materials. In the
event of the control module becoming dirty, it must be cleaned immediately. Pressure cleaning or
use of a shower is forbidden, as the wheelchair has electric units, which will be damage when wet.
The wheelchair can be disinfected totally for example by spraying the disinfectant on the wheelchair.
The electronics of the wheelchair are in the battery box so keep the battery box closed during the
disinfection. While disinfecting, notice the wheelchair’s texture surfaces (seat, supports) which should
be disinfected with the suitable methods.
Following operations
the user is able to do with help of assistant or some other person:
-
measuring the tyre air pressure
-
changing tyres
-
disconnecting the batteries
-
installing the batteries
-
changing the lamp
MEASURING THE TYRE AIR PRESSURE
The suitable air pressure in the tyre is approx 1.5 bar. Air
pressure decrease under 1.2 bar and filling over 3.0 bar
is not advised. This increases the wear of tyres,
decreases grip and causes extra friction, which shortens
the driving distance.
