Wheelchair maintenance

Wheelchair maintenance
1. It is very important to have a complete understanding of the various modules of the device and the correct usage method. The correct usage method not only facilitates users but also reduces equipment wear and tear.
2. Keep the vehicle clean and place it in a dry and ventilated place to prevent corrosion of accessories.
3. Before and within a month of using the wheelchair, check whether each bolt is loose. If there is any looseness, tighten it in a timely manner. During normal use, an inspection should be conducted every three months to ensure that all components are in good condition. Various sturdy nuts on the wheelchair, especially the fixing nuts on the rear axle, should be checked. If any looseness is found, it should be adjusted and tightened in a timely manner.
4. Please regularly check the condition of the tires, repair rotating parts in a timely manner, and regularly add a small amount of lubricating oil.
5. Sometimes it’s inevitable to get stuck in mud or get wet when going out. Please clean and wipe the soil in a timely manner, and apply anti rust wax. Rainwater is too acidic, and if the soil is not cleaned in a timely manner, it can easily rust the wheelchair, which visually affects its appearance.
6. Tires should maintain sufficient air pressure and should not come into contact with oil or acidic substances to prevent deterioration.
7. The connecting bolts of the wheelchair seat frame are loose and strictly prohibited from being tightened.
8. For electric wheelchairs, it is important to develop the habit of charging immediately after use, so as to keep the battery fully charged. Prohibit storage due to power loss; If an electric wheelchair is not used for a long time, low power storage will seriously affect its service life, and the longer the idle time, the more serious the battery damage. Idle electric wheelchairs should develop the habit of regular charging. Keep the battery in a ‘full state’ for a long time. Avoid rain, handle with care, etc.
9. Regularly check the flexibility of activities and rotating structures, and apply lubricants. If for some reason, the axle of the wheel needs to be removed, ensure that the nut is tightened and does not loosen during reinstallation.
10. The connecting bolts of the wheelchair seat frame are loose and strictly prohibited from being tightened.
For elderly people with lower body disabilities or mobility difficulties, wheelchairs are their second pair of feet. Many people are like this, and after buying a wheelchair home, as long as the wheelchair does not malfunction, they generally do not go for inspection and maintenance. They are very reassured that this is actually a wrong approach. Although manufacturers can guarantee the quality of the wheelchair is not a problem, they cannot guarantee that it will not be a problem after you use it for a period of time, So in order to ensure the optimal condition of the wheelchair, it needs to be regularly maintained.
