MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
CARE FOR YOUR CHAIR
• The nylon seat and backrest upholstery can
be removed by simply loosening the screws
and washed with a wet sponge and a mild
detergent. All other components can be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Check tyre condition at least twice per
month.
• Check that rear wheel spokes are not loose.
Loose wheel spokes can reduce the strength
of the rims and must be safely adjusted by a
qualified technician.
• Always keep rear wheel quick release axles
clean and free from dirt and hair build up.
• Should push rims become scratched these
should be de-burred or replaced to avoid
damage to skin (not necessary for transit
model)
• Brakes should be checked regularly. Brake
eectiveness can be reduced by incorrect
tyre pressure.
• Should you have any doubts about the
correct functioning of the wheel chair or
of any of its components, please contact
AIDACARE on 1300 133 120 or your local
Aspire distributor.
• The tool kit provided will allow basic
adjustments to the wheelchair, for further
information on repairs and service contact
AIDACARE on 1300 133 120.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY: 125kg - NEVER EXCEED THIS WEIGHT LIMIT
• The foot plates are not designed to be a weight bearing surface. Never stand on the
footplates as the wheelchair may tip over.
• Pay attention to your fingers when folding or opening the wheelchair and when self-
propelling the chair with hands in close proximity to wheel spokes.
• Always use push rims to bring the wheelchair to a stop. Do not use the brakes to stop
a moving wheelchair.
• Never use the wheelchair on escalators, even if accompanied by an attendant.
