SERVICE
Finish:
The high quality finish ensures an opti-
mum of protection against corrosion. If
the surface finish is damaged by scratch-
es or similar, touch it up with a varnish
pen available from us. Occasional ap-
plication of a light cover of oil to all
moving parts (see also Maintenance In-
structions) will ensure that your wheel-
chair will give you many years of serv-
ice.
A cleaning with a dry cloth is usually suf-
ficient for the maintenance of the
spokes. Use an appropriate brand
name cleaning agent to remove matt
spots or strongly adhering dirt. A thin
Vaseline coating of the spokes will pre-
vent an early matt appearance of the
coating.

tact your specialist workshop. Personnel
