able base and a fixed base. A reclining

SEAT MAINTENANCE
u
Inspect the seating area daily for
tears, rips, or stains.
u
Check seats for secure attachment
and tighten any loose bolts to assure
safety and to prevent rattling.
u
Vinyl seats should be wiped down
once or twice each month with a
soap and water solution or other mild
cleaning agent recommended for vinyl.
Use of stronger solvents on vinyl seats is not
recommended as they reduce the strength of the
vinyl and cause premature cracking.
u
Vacuum fabric-covered seats one
to two times per month to remove
loose surface dirt as well as dirt that
has settled to the bottom of the fabric
pile. A commercial or heavy duty
vacuum cleaner is recommended for a
thorough cleaning.
u
Spot clean stains as they appear
with a soap and water solution or a
mild cleaning agent recommended for
the fabric.
Spot clean stains before
steam-cleaning.
u
Steam-clean fabric-covered seats
every six months to restore the fabric
pile and to remove stains and odors.
