How to maintain and prolong the service life of wheelchairs?

2022-12-22handler1129

1. Wheelchair tires should be maintained frequently, especially pneumatic tires. Generally, check whether the tires are sufficient within 1 to 2 weeks.

2. The bearing is the key to the stable rotation of the wheelchair. It's the same bearing as a bicycle. Year-round use or frequent rains can easily rust and break the bearings and make them unusable. Pushing it will take a lot of effort. When it is found that the wheelchair cannot run smoothly when moving forward or turning, it should be checked and repaired in time, and it is recommended to replace it regularly.

3. The quality of cushion cloth and back cloth seems to be indifferent to many people. If the seam is broken and repaired, that's a big problem. In fact, it's pretty bad. You know, people sit and lean on cushions every day. If the backrest is leaning against the cloth, once it loses its elasticity, it is equivalent to sitting on the wheelchair frame. Encountering bumpy roads will be very uncomfortable, increase physical fatigue, and cause great harm to the body.

4. When going out, safety is necessary. Maintaining safety brakes is naturally an important part of maintenance work. Pay attention to the sensitivity of the brakes at all times, and keep an effective braking distance at all times to ensure personal safety.

5. The car body must be cleaned and checked regularly. Although many wheelchairs are made of aluminum alloy, remember not to wash them directly with water when cleaning and maintaining them. Simply wipe with a soft dry cloth. In case of stubborn stains, wipe gently with a little water. Do not use any cleaning agents with aggressive chemicals as this can damage the wheelchair.
