9. CLEANING & RECYCLING
9.1 Cleaning
In order to lengthen the life of your wheelchair, it is suggested that you clean the
wheelchair periodically (if not daily), especially after it is used in the rain or snow.
We suggest that you don't use your wheelchair in the rain or snow. If you are
traveling and get caught in the rain, we suggest you try to find shelter while waiting
it out. If you can't find any shelter, proceed to your destination.
9.1.1 Frame
Wipe it with a damp cloth.
9.1.2 Upholstery
9.1.2.1 When cleaning the upholstery, use warm water and a mild soap.
9.1.2.2 Upholstery cleaner/foam can also be used, but avoid other cleaning
solvents.
9.2 Post-Consumer Recycling
A post-consumer recycling plan should follow the Environmental Protection
Administration's regulations. The items listed below are for reference only as local
laws and regulations may vary.
9.2.1 There are many organizations in many countries you can find on the Internet
that will accept used goods for charity. Please search the information highway
to help less fortunate individuals and protect our planet for future generations.
If you do not have access to the world wide web please use your local phone
directory, ask for operator assistance or go to your local government center
for more information. Earth Day is every day.
9.2.2 Check with your local recycling center on where and how to recycle your
wheelchair as this information varies from region to region.
