11. CLEANING & RECYCLING
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 and
turn OFF your wheelchair while waiting it out. If you can't find shelter, proceed to
your destination. However we do not recommend you do this often as it may
shorten the life of your wheelchair or cause damage.
Driver's seat upholstery: use soapy water. Wring out the sponge/ cloth before
scrubbing. Do not use the wheelchair until it is dry.
Frame: wipe with a damp cloth, but be sure not to splash/spray the wheelchair with
water, as doing so may damage the motor, electrical wiring and battery. If
compressed air is available, you can use the compressed air to clean your
wheelchair (do not exceed 7K and keep the nozzle at least 10cm away from your
wheelchair).
Casing: wipe with a damp cloth. After it is dry, coat the casing with a light layer of
wax, if desired.
