7.2 Cleaning and Disinfection

Clean the padding and upholstery with warm water and a washing-up liquid. Remove spots with
a sponge or a soft brush. Rinse with clear water and let the components dry.
INFORMATION
Do not use any aggressive cleansing agents, solvents, or hard brushes etc.
INFORMATION
No wet-cleaning. Components are not machine washable. For disinfection, water-based agents (e.g.,
Sagrotan original concentrate) should be used. The manufacturer's instructions for use must be ob-
served.
INFORMATION
Before disinfecting, the pads and handles must be cleaned. Plastic parts, frame parts as well as chas-
sis and wheels can be cleaned with a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
8 Changing tyres (Fig. 71 – 74)
Changing flat tyres requires only the necessary tools and minimal technical skills. Users may
change tyres themselves if they wish. We recommend carrying an emergency repair kit and tyre
pump at all times (if using pneumatic tyres).
Suitable tyre pumps are listed on the order form and are supplied with the product. Alternatively,
users can keep a spray can of hardening foam (available at bicycle shops) to fill a tyre in case
of punctures.
• In case of a flat tyre, carefully remove the tyre from the rim using the appropriate tools.
• Take care not to damage the rim or the inner tube.
• Repair the inner tube according to the directions in the repair kit, or, replace the damaged
inner tube with a new one.
• Before re-mounting the tyre, inspect the inner rim surface and the inside of the tyre for any
object that may have caused the puncture.
• Be sure that the rim bands are not damaged. They protect the tube from being damaged by
the ends of the spokes.
Mounting
• Place the protective rim band over the valve. Then push the valve through the rim. Screw on
the valve nut. The rim band can then be easily applied.
• Ensure that all spoke ends are covered.
