Regular Maintenance
Professional inspection of the wheelchair is
recommended at least once a year.
Any service or repairs, especially to the brakes,
must be performed by a trained professional.
Any unauthorised repairs or service may void
your warranty.
›
Regularly check the wheelchair for damage and wear,
paying special attention to the workings of the brakes and
the condition of the wheels and tyres. If the wheelchair is
damaged in any way, stop using the wheelchair immediately
and contact your authorised dealer or the manufacturer.
›
Check the efficiency of the braking system to ensure the
rear drive wheels cannot rotate when the park brakes are
engaged. With brakes released, there should be no drag
on the rear wheels and the wheelchair should be wheeled
easily. If you notice an unfamiliar braking sensation or any
abnormalities, stop using the wheelchair immediately and
contact your authorised dealer or the manufacturer.
›
Check all screws and wheelnuts are firmly secured.
Use the toolkit provided to tighten any loose fixtures.
›
Ensure tyres are inflated to the specified pressure (optimal
pressure 420kPa or 60 PSI) and have sufficient tread depth
(> 1 mm). Defective tyres must be replaced before use.
›
In the event of a puncture or constant loss of pressure to one
or other of the rear drive wheels, stop using the wheelchair
immediately and contact your authorised dealer or the
manufacturer.
Care & Cleaning
Cleaning
Do not use high pressure
cleaners or harsh, caustic
chemicals for cleaning.
Frame
Wipe the wheelchair frame
with a damp cloth.
For more stubborn dirt, use a
mild detergent solution up to 40
°C. Dry thoroughly before use to
avoid corrosion.
Clean the wheels using a damp
brush with plastic bristles (do
not use a wire brush or you may
damage the rubber).

Regularly clean the upholstery
materials using a mild detergent
solution up to 40 °C, or washed
with alcohol-based disinfectants
if necessary.
Dry thoroughly before use.
