22.0 Maintenance and care
If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it afterwards.
A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks.
Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair to your authorized dealer every 6
months to have it inspected by trained personnel.
If you want to store the wheelchair for a long period of time, then no further measures are required. Make sure that the
wheelchair is stored at room temperature in a dry place which is protected from strong sunlight. Before using it again,
the wheelchair should be checked by an authorized dealer.

disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions of the disinfectant you are using.
