8.4 Lighting maintenance:
DANGER!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety critical task. If your
lights and indicator system shows a defect, please contact your
Sunrise Medical Approved Dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no
maintenance units. There are no light bulbs used. The high
intrinsic reliability of these units means that they are extremely
unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure should occur,
(may be as a result of an impact), the damaged light assembly
must be replaced in its entirety. The individual LED's cannot be
replaced.
CAUTION!
• We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare
parts only.
• Be advised that all lighting circuits are electronically
protected. In the event of a short circuit current will be
limited to a safe level. Once the fault is removed the system
resets automatically.
8.5 Cleaning and disinfection
The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a
slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has
accumulated around the motors should be blown or dusted
away.
CAUTION!
Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it
becomes wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in a wet or
damp atmosphere.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than
one person it is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross
infection.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/
recommended in your country, for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which
must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer's instructions for the
disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on
seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and
back slings to avoid micro-bacterial contamination with active
agents according to your local infection protection law.
CAUTION!
• Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic
detergents, wax polishes or aerosols.
• Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried
thoroughly.

WARNING!
• Always read the label on any commercial or domestic
cleaning substances.
• Always follow the instructions carefully.
Cleaning controls: & Controller
Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty,
it can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant
until clean.
DANGER!
Important: If the wheelchair is to be used by more than one
person, follow the cleaning and disinfection instructions
carefully to ensure that there is no cross infection.
8.6 Medium to long term storage:
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of time (in
excess of one week), follow these simple instructions:
• Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
• Disconnect the charger.
• Disconnect the batteries.
WARNING!
Never store your wheelchair:
• Outside.
• In direct sunlight, (plastic parts may discolour).
• Near a source of direct heat.
• In a damp environment.
• In a cold environment.
• With the batteries/battery boxes connected, (even if the
controller is switched off).
Avoiding all of the above will minimise battery deep cycle
discharge and extend battery lifetime.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect the
batteries/battery boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least
24 hours before use.
