provide you with many years of service, but like any piece
of equipment, it will require proper care and service for it
to perform efficiently.!
!
However we suggest you regularly inspect your chair,
checking for loose fasteners, excess play and damage. We
also strongly recommend that regular maintenance be done
by your servicing dealer.!
!
Please complete your “Warranty Registration Card” and
return it to us at Power Plus Mobility.!
!
Also please read this manual to help you understand the
proper operation, safety and maintenance of your new

MAINTENANCE GUIDE!
Your wheelchair is designed to give you many years of trouble-free
use with proper care. Some servicing can be done at home, but we
recommend that periodic maintenance be performed at your dealer.!
Service frequency depends strongly on the type of use and your
dealer can best advise you on the time interval.!
CLEANING!
All chrome and painted parts can be cleaned with a mild !
non-abrasive cleaner such as window cleaner. Stubborn spots or
rust can be removed with automotive chrome cleaner.!
The arms and nylon upholstery should be cleaned with a mild soap
and water solution. Both should be rinsed well with clean water to
remove all soap residues. The molded wheels and casters should
also be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.!
LUBRICATION!
Your wheelchair has been made with low friction plastic, steel,
aluminum and polished chrome to reduce friction and wear.
However a light use of thin lubricant, such as WD40 or silicone
spray will reduce friction and wear, making your chair easier to
use.!
SAFETY AND HANDLING!
The safe handling of your chair depends on understanding the
purpose and function of your particular wheelchair model. !
Recognizing the chairs’ limitations will increase your confidence
level. !
LEANING!
Leaning should be avoided when possible, as this weight transfer
will reduce your chair’s stability. When leaning forward or
sideways make sure the casters are turned in the direction you are
leaning as this will lengthen the wheel base, increasing stability.!
Also make sure the wheel locks are engaged, to prevent your chair
from rolling.!
!
MANOUVERING RAMPS, CURBS, STAIRS!
Lean forward in chair, putting weight over front casters when
going up inclines. When going on descending inclines do so slowly
by controlling your speed using the handrims and not the wheel.!
To mount a curb use the tipping method, pull the chair backwards
and over the curb. To descend a curb do your tipping and either
pull yourself down backwards or roll yourself forward and down
very slowly.!
It is a definite no-no to use your chair on an escalator, find the
nearest elevator instead. Going up or down stairs should be done
with at least two attendants at all times.!
!
!
TRANSFERRING IN A WHEELCHAIR!
Attendant assistance is recommended to stabilize the chair and
help in lifting you, if necessary. Transfers are best accomplished by
following these guidelines:!
Use a chair with detachable or flip back arm.!
Position your chair as close as possible to the transfer object and
engage your wheel locks to prevent movement.!
Try to transfer to objects of the same height or close to.!
