SAFARI TILT
6. Cleaning and disinfection
Clean all areas that come in contact with user or caregiver with a disinfectant
solution.
To prevent the spread of germs, disinfectant wipes should be used on a regu-
lar basis. Keep frame dry and apply a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and
biodegradable lubricant to all moving parts. After longer storage periods, and
before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned and disin-
fected. Follow the guidelines of each country and region.
Cleaning of frame:
Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non-
toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant. Lubricant should be
applied to moving parts as needed to maintain easy folding and adjustment.
All contact with salt water should be avoided. If the chair is used in salt-water
environments corrosion may occur. In the event of salt-water exposure, the
frame should be wiped off with a moist towel as soon as possible. Water and a
soft cloth are sufficient; lubricant should be reapplied to all moving parts.
Cleaning of wheels and brakes:
Wheels should be kept free of dirt or mud so as to not interfere with pushing
the chair. The brakes are to be kept free of dirt or mud, so as not to interfere
with locking. Wipe wheels and brakes with a moist cloth as needed and read-
just brakes if indicated.
Cleaning of fabric cover:
Seat and back upholstery can be easily removed, washed, air dried (a Phillips
head screwdriver is required) and reattached to the chair. Use standard
detergent to wash fabric.
Cushion covers can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, or removed from the
cushion, washed in warm water and air-dried (do not put in the dryer). Use
standard detergent to wash cover. Make sure covers are completely dried
before reattaching them to the chair.
Parts that are permanently attached may be wiped vigorously with a moist
cloth. Allow sufficient time to dry before placing user in chair.
7. Storage
Before extended storage periods, and before reuse, the entire chair needs to
be serviced, cleaned and disinfected.
