GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Daily -
A daily visual inspection should be performed by any staff member
that is going to use the chair. This is to make sure that the chair is in a safe
operating condition. If there are any features/items that require attention
that may affect the safety of the carer or the client, the chair should be
removed from service until these issues have been rectified.
Weekly –

(minimum) to ensure longevity and hygienic conditions are maintained.
Please refer to section titled General Cleaning Instructions for
recommended cleaning practices.
Monthly -
The following should be checked and adjusted if required.
All nuts and bolts on pivot points:
If they are loose, tighten without restricting pivot operation.
If they are worn, replace with a
Comflex®
approved fastener.
