Maintenance And Cleaning - Handicare Combi Max Gebrauchsanweisung

Driving the chair
The user can independently drive the chair forward with the help of the large drive wheels. Grasp the outer ring that is
mounted on the drive wheel, and push forward. The user can also operate the wheel brakes (one located on each side
of the drive wheels) by pulling the handles backwards so the wheels are locked. When the brakes are pushed forward
again the brakes are released.

Maintenance and cleaning

To ensure longevity of the chair and safety for the user, the following should be included in the daily inspection:
• Inspect and clean the castors and wheels of dust and dirt
• Inspect and clean the wheel brakes of dust and dirt
• Check that all screws and nuts are properly tightened
• Check that the snaplock clips are securely fastened
After each use, or according to facility protocol, the Combi self-propelled chair may be cleaned/disinfected with non-
abrasive, non-corrosive solutions. The PUR seat and backrest can be detached for cleaning, as can the bucket / bedpan
holder (NOTE: the rear section of the bucket / bedpan holder must be lifted upwards before removing the two rods
from the holes). The entire chair may also be washed / autoclaved at 85 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes. Avoid harsh
solvents and chlorine. If alcohol is used to clean the black polyurethane, discolouration may occur. Ensure all parts are
re-attached correctly prior to use.
Reuse
Follow the above procedures. Defective or worn parts must be replaced.
Warning
• Max. load Combi self-propelled (standard and wide model): 150 kg / 330 lbs
• Check the condition of the snaplocks frequently, and regularly check that the snaplocks are inserted correctly into
the frame.
• Lock wheels when chair is stationary and also during transfers to and from the chair.
• The Combi self-propelled chair is not designed to be used as seating for extended-periods.
• The Combi self-propelled chair should always be used with the anti-tip feet. Regularly check the rubber tips for wear.
• Always use the Combi chair with armrests in place (folded down). Armrests (and footrests, if present) should only be
folded up during transfer to and from the chair.
• If the castors and / or wheels are detached, it is important to mount them again correctly (see "Assembling the front
castors & rear wheels" above). Ensure that all 4 legs (the castors and the anti-tip feet) are adjusted to the same height.
• Keep fingers away from the armrest joints to avoid pinching during raising and lowering.
• Use the chair only on a flat, even surface.
• Insert or remove the bedpan/bucket when the chair is not in use.
• Adjust height of chair only when not in use
• Do not store the chair in direct sunlight as the black surface may become hot and uncomfortable for the user.
• When using the Combi self-propelled, avoid wearing loose clothing that might become caught in the wheel brakes.
• Do not put your fingers in the drain holes of the back rest, or your toes in the drain holes of the foot rests, as there is a
risk of them getting stuck.
