Wheelchairs usually go through strict inspection before leaving the factory, and they are packed after passing the inspection. The process of selling wheelchairs only requires adjusting the height of the pedals according to the customer's height to meet their needs.

During the use of a wheelchair, first of all, it is important to brake the brakes before getting on or off the wheelchair. There are hand brakes on both sides of the wheelchair to secure it and prevent it from moving, in order to prevent people with inconvenient mobility from falling or other dangerous situations;

It is not allowed to step on the pedal to get on or off the wheelchair. After sitting in a wheelchair, place the pedals flat and put your feet up. The pedals are not load-bearing, and stepping on them can easily cause the wheelchair to lose balance and cause danger. Before disembarking from the wheelchair, brake the brake first, lift the pedal, and it is safest to step on the ground and disembark from the wheelchair;

Once again, if pushing the wheelchair encounters a slope, it is best to go downhill backwards. When encountering a step, step on the anti roll bar to pry up the front small wheel and then climb up the step. Also, be careful not to pinch your hands when folding or opening the wheelchair.

After using the wheelchair for a period of time, attention should be paid to maintenance and upkeep- Check around once a month. The most frequently used parts of wheelchairs are large wheels, small wheels, handbrake, pedals, etc. When maintaining and maintaining tires, it is important to use them on smooth roads as much as possible to reduce wear and tear caused by potholes;

Inflatable wheels should ensure 80% to 90% air volume. If the air volume is too high or insufficient, the tires are prone to wear and tear;

The bearing is used for about half a year, and a little engine oil is added to make it more lubricated and have a longer service life;

After frequent use of the handbrake, pay attention to whether the screws are tight, if the screws are loose, the handbrake will not function properly, which can easily cause falls and injuries;

Pay attention to adjusting the height and angle of the foot pedal to a position suitable for the user, avoid collisions and collisions with the foot pedal, maintain cleanliness, and prevent slipping;

For the maintenance of the chair surface and backrest, you can use seat cushions that have good pressure relief, strong breathability, and are easy to clean as needed, such as anti bedsore seat cushions, handsome seats, cushions, and seat cushions. Pay attention to the appropriate height of the seat cushion, and it is important to maintain the overall stability and safety of the user.
