< finger traps
Be careful when operating the wheelchair, remaining aware of finger traps around
moving parts, when removing and replacing parts or making adjustments. Take extra
care when operating the grey locking collet cap of the backrest and armrests. Observe
the potential finger trap for both the occupant and operator between the rear wheel
and chassis plates. It is possible to purchase a wheel guard from your supplier.
< cleaning
All Chunc upholstered parts must be cleaned following the care label stitched
into the cover. They can be cleaned using water and commercially available fabric
washing detergents and non-toxic soap (neutral soap). The padding inside the
upholstery should not be cleaned with any liquid; only lightly brush to refresh the
surface. Always ensure all mating Velcro parts are pressed together prior to washing.
Exposed hooked Velcro can cause damage to items in a wash cycle.
The armrests are covered with closed cell foam. They can be wiped clean using
a damp cloth. We do not recommend the use of detergents on these parts.
The wheelchair frame is constructed from high quality engineering materials including
powder-coated steel, nylon composite moldings and stainless steel fasteners.It can be
cleaned using water and commercially available household detergentsand non-toxic
soap (neutral soap). Before cleaning the wheelchair, all upholstery, including the
armrests should be removed. It may be necessary to use a brush or cloth to remove
embedded dirt or remove deposits from sheltered areas. Do not pressure wash.
< extended life re-use / recycling / disposal
Your product is designed and manufactured with high quality materials and
components, which can be recycled and reused. When the wheelchair’s life can
be prolonged no further, it can be easily dismantled into its respective material
groups. Approximately 90% of the wheel-chair by weight is recyclable. Consider
the environment when disposing of your old product. Ensure it is recycled where
applicable by giving it to a recycling organisation at the end of its life.
