aluminum, etc., and set aside for recycling.
Suitable Environment
The chair is intended for both indoor and outdoor use. If the chair is used in the rain, the excess water
should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the chair is splashed with mud or corrosive substances like salt
water or road salt, the chair should be washed clean with water, wiped dry and a hypoallergenic and
biodegradable lubricant reapplied to the moving parts. Contact with seawater should be avoided, as it
will corrode areas that cannot be washed clean. When going from outside to inside, clean any excess
dirt or mud from the wheels to prevent soiling of inside environment.
