7 Maintenance, Cleaning, and Disinfection

7.1 Maintenance

Your wheelchair has been provided with the CE sign. The manufacturer herewith guarantees
that this medical product as a whole conforms to the requirements of the European Directive for
Medical Products 93/42/EEC.
The proper function of the wheelchair, especially of the brakes, should be checked before every
use. Safety nuts should be used only once. If they have been loosened several times, they must
be replaced.
Should any problems or wear be encountered, please contact your authorized specialist dealer
immediately in order to have them corrected. This is particularly important if you notice that the
driving characteristics change or the wheelchair becomes less stable. We also recommend that
you have the wheelchair serviced every 12 months by your Otto Bock authorized dealer�
The following table lists functions which the user must check at the indicated intervals.
Check
Function test of the wheel locks and drum brake
Sagging of the seat or back upholstery
Footplate stability
Sight-check of wearing parts (e.g. tires, bearings)
Dirt on bearings
Push ring damage
Air pressure (see indication on tire)
Wear on folding mechanism
Spoke tension of the rear wheels
Screw connections
To ensure smooth operation at all times, the following precautions and cleanings should be car-
ried out. Users may carry these out by themselves.
• Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork. This can
restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Remove the caster and thoroughly clean the
fork and caster using a mild detergent.
• The rear wheels feature a quick-release system. To keep this system operational, ensure that
no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. The quick-release axle should also
be lightly lubricated regularly with resin-free sewing machine oil.
• If your wheelchair gets wet, towel dry it as soon as possible.
• Do not use your wheelchair in salt water and keep sand or other particles from damaging
the wheel bearings.
