Maintenance Table
Castors
Lift base and check each wheel to ensure it is not damaged, loose or worn.
Brakes
Removing any grease or dirt that has built up on the wheels, check that the brakes stop the wheels
rotating.
Check they are securely fixed in place & that there are no signs of damage or wear & tear.
Pushing
Handles
Ensure handles are functioning correctly.
Check there are no signs of damage or wear and tear.
Ensure push handle grips are secure.
Seat Tilt In
Space
Mechanism
With the tilt lock released check for free movement with no signs of damage or wear to the
mechanism, lever or cables.
Tighten the lock and ensure it holds the seat angle.
Base Height
Adjustment
With the seat unloaded, press the lever & ensure it moves freely to the maximum height.
In incremental stages add weight up to the maximum load (40, 60, 80 or 100kgs) and, over a period
of time (approx 10 - 15 minutes), check that there is no creep (lowering) of the seat. If it is not
practical to perform this test, as a minimum requirement, immediately following the maintenance
check, the static position of the seat should be monitored whilst a user is positioned in the system.
With the load on, press the lever & ensure the seat travels freely to the lowest position.
Seat / Backrest

Check the attachment points of the seat and backrest upholstery are tight.
Check for worn covering. Rough worn upholstery can cause discomfort, would be difficult to keep
hygienically clean, and may cause skin irritation.
Interface
Check there are no signs of damage or wear and tear.
Ensure the function secures the seating unit properly.

maintenance
the frame
should provide
at least 5 years
trouble free use

use, wear will
occur and a
thorough
inspection is

Check all metal parts to ensure there are no signs of damage or wear and tear, paying particular
attention to adjustable or moving parts.
Check there are no signs of failure in joints and welds.
Check tightness & security of all fixings, bolts, nuts, spring loaded pegs, & other fitments.
Check for signs of fatigue wears, replace parts that show signs of wear or repeatedly becoming
loose.

there are no signs of damage, wear and tear or failure.
