INSPECTION
In principle we recommend one inspection every twelve months, and a minimum of one before usage
is resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized persons:
•
Check the frame parts for three-dimensional deformation and reduced functioning.
•
Visually check for damage to the paintwork (risk of corrosion)
•
Visually check for damage to cushion covers
•
Check the operation of the castors (free running, level rolling, wheel immobilizers)
•
Check the solidity and tightness of all screws, nuts and bolts.
•
Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of moveable parts
•
Visually check all plastic parts for tears and brittle spots
•
Check the functioning of the leg support (locking, loading, deformation, wear and tear due to
loading, gas compression springs, adjustment levers)
•
Visually and functionally inspect the gas compression springs (including the adjusting lever)
•
Verify completeness of the delivery condition
•
Is the instruction manual available?
The service must only be signed off in the service plan if a minimum of all the above-mentioned
aspects have been checked. If your specialist dealer is incapable of performing the required services,
please contact the manufacturer. We shall gladly refer you to authorized specialist dealers in your
area.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by the lack of or improper service.
CARE
Your chair requires regular care to keep it in a visually attractive condition. Please take note of the
following hints:
l
Never use steam or pressure jets.
•
COVERS
Clean the covers with a cloth moistened with hot water. You can remove stubborn dirt by washing with
a mild commercial detergent. Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush. Do not use
rough brushes or any other pointed objects for cleaning.
l
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
l
We shall decline all liability for damage due to the use of improper cleaning agents.
l
Avoid over-dampening the covers.
•
PLASTIC PARTS
Use commercial plastic cleaners to clean all plastic parts. Please comply with special product
information.
•
SURFACE LAYERS
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer layer
has been scratched or otherwise damaged, you can protect the area by applying varnish obtainable
from your specialist dealer. Occasional greasing of the movable parts (also refer to the section
"Servicing") will ensure that you enjoy the benefit of your wheelchair for many years to come.
To guarantee the long-term preservation of your chair, we recommend that you take it to your
specialist dealer for inspection every two years. These inspections can be signed off in the "Service
plan" section.
l
The manufacturer does not accept liability for damage/injury caused by inadequate servicing
and care.
