Cleaning and disinfection
To prevent the spread of germs, clean all skin contacting areas with disinfectant wipes regularly. Keep
frame dry and apply a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant to all moving parts. After
longer storage periods, and before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned, and
disinfected.
Cleaning of frame
Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and
biodegradable wipe. Lubricant should be applied to moving parts as needed to maintain easy folding
and adjustment.
Corrosive substance such as salt water should be avoided at all times. If exposed the frame should
be wiped off with a moist towel as soon as possible. Water and a soft cloth are sufcient for basic
cleaning.
Cleaning of wheels and brakes
Wheels and brakes should be kept free of dirt or mud after each use. Foreign objects could cause
interference with moving parts. Wipe wheels and brakes with a moist cloth as needed and readjust
brakes if needed.
