5 Maintenance
5.1 Points of maintenance
Risk of injuries and damage
Repairs and replacements may only be
undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used.
The last page of this manual contains a registration form for the specialist dealer to record
each service.
The service frequency depends on the
frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer
to agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
For the maintenance manual, refer to the Vermeiren website: www.vermeiren.com.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
All parts: Present and undamaged or unworn.
All parts: Clean, see § 5.2.2.
Wheels, backrest, seat, calf rests, arm rests, footplate: Well secured.
Condition of wheels/tyres, see § 5.2.1;
Condition of frame parts: No deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections
Seat, backrest, arm pads, calf pads and head rest (if applied): No excessive wear (like
dented spots, damage or tears).
Brakes: Undamaged and functioning
Contact your specialist dealer for possible repairs or part replacements.
Yearly or more often
Have your wheelchair inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year, or
more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed on with your specialist dealer.
5.2 Maintenance instructions
5.2.1 Wheels and tyres
Proper
working of the brakes depends on the state of the tyres, and 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 the tread depth is less than 1 mm, the tyres need to be replaced.
Contact your specialist dealer for this matter.
5.2.2 Cleaning
Risk of damage by moisture
pressure cleaner to clean the wheelchair.
Wipe all rigid parts of the wheelchair 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.
