Maintenance Tips
-
Clean Upholstery Regularly:
Wipe down the dark blue upholstery with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove stains and dirt. For tougher stains, use a fabric cleaner suitable for wheelchairs, ensuring it doesn’t damage the fabric.
-
Check the Frame and Welds:
Periodically inspect the wheelchair frame for any cracks, rust, or loose bolts. Tighten any loose screws or bolts and check the welds for structural integrity to ensure safe use.
-
Maintain Elevating Legrests:
Check the legrests for smooth operation. Ensure the elevating mechanism works properly and lubricate any moving parts to prevent stiffness or malfunction.
-
Inspect Tires and Wheels:
Regularly check the tires for wear and ensure they are properly inflated (if pneumatic). Inspect the wheels for smooth rotation and any signs of damage or debris that could impede movement.
-
Test Reclining Mechanism:
Ensure the reclining function operates smoothly without resistance or sticking. Clean any parts involved in reclining and lubricate joints if necessary to maintain fluid movement.
-
Check Armrests for Stability:
Ensure the desk-length armrests are securely attached and check for any signs of wear, particularly where they connect to the wheelchair. Tighten any loose components.
-
Weight Capacity Compliance:
Verify that the weight limit of 250 lbs. is not exceeded, as this can cause excessive wear or structural damage.
