Instructions for maintenance
6.2.1 Wheels and tyres
Proper working of the brakes depends on the state of the wheels or tyres, that can change
due to wear and contamination (water, oil, mud, ...).
Keep your wheels free of wires, hair, sand and fibres.
Check the profile of the tyres, if applicable. If the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to
be replaced. Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
6.2.2 Cleaning
Wipe all rigid parts of the wheelchair/commode chair with a damp cloth (not drenched). If
necessary, use a mild soap, suitable for varnishes and synthetics.
The upholstery can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents to clean.
After emptying the bowl in the toilet, rinse it with water and soap. Clean and dry it with toilet paper.
