[regularly check metal parts and decorative fabrics]

Rusting of metal parts will reduce the strength of materials and cause parts to break, which may cause wheelchair users to suffer secondary injuries. The fabric material of the cushion backrest is damaged, which will tear the seat surface or backrest and cause secondary injury to the user

Method:

1. Check the metal surface for rust and corrosion. If rust is found, remove the rust with special cleaning agent and tools, and spray special protective agent;

2. Check whether the tension of seat surface and backrest is appropriate. If it is too tight or too loose, it needs to be adjusted. Check whether the seat cushion and backrest are worn. If they are worn, replace them in time.

[Clean wheelchair and seat cushion]

Keep metal parts and non-metallic parts clean to prevent damage caused by long-term dirt erosion

Method:

1. When cleaning the wheelchair, clean it with professional detergent (or soapy water) and dry it. Focus on cleaning the moving parts and the connection between the decorative fabric and the wheelchair frame.

2. When cleaning the cushion, the cushion filler (such as sponge) shall be extracted from the seat cover and cleaned separately. The cushion filler (such as sponge) shall be dried in a dark place to avoid direct sunlight.

[Oiling moving parts]

Keep components running smoothly to prevent rusting

Method:

After cleaning and drying the wheelchair, use professional lubricating oil to lubricate all moving parts (bearings, connectors, moving parts, etc.).
