Product Description XLT
Product Description
Until January 2005:
XLT is made of titanium which is very light and strong. This makes it a light, stable
and durable wheelchair. XLT fits in almost everywhere thanks to its comfort,
ergonomics and performance.
XLT is designed for experienced, active users, who understand how important it is
with good propelling characteristics. The very stable chassis and the excellent wheel
balance provide good propelling characteristics on almost every surface.
XLT is designed for easy handeling and transport, wherever you want to travel.
XLT is well balanced for an one-arm lift into a car. It takes up so little space that
it easily can be lifted in front of you into the passanger seat of a car. Titanium is
also extra strong and durable which gives it a long life. Quick release wheels and
foldable back, is of course standard.
XLT is a solid frame wheelchair with driving wheel plates and castor attachments of
aluminium. This provides a light weight and stable wheelchair. The black vinyl seat
is easy to clean. The back rest is made of black plastic-coated fabric/black Strix.

the legs and the feet. The standard delivery includes a foot bow. With 120 mm
castors the seat angles 4°, 8°, and 12° can be obtained, dependent on the row of
mounting holes used for the rear wheel.

Washing and Disinfection
Washing and Disinfection
1. Remove all loose and removable covers and wash these in a washing machine
following the washing instructions for each article.
2. If the wheelchair is very dirty we recommend that you remove the back
and seat to make it easier to wash.
3. Rinse the wheelchair with a high-pressure or ordinary jet of water depending
on how dirty the chair is. Do not aim the jet towards bearings and draining
holes. If the wheelchair is washed in a machine the water must not be hotter
than 60 degrees.
4. Spray the chair with alcohol for disinfection.
5. Spray the wheelchair with detergent, for example a car-cleaning agent with
wax.
6. Leave the detergent to work for a couple of minutes.
7. Rinse the wheelchair with a high-pressure or ordinary jet of water depending
on how dirty the chair is. Do not aim the jet towards bearings and draining
holes.
8. Check that the chair is clean.
9. Leave the chair to dry in a drying cabinet. Remove parts where water has
collected for example in end tubes, ferrules etc. If the chair has been washed
in a machine, blow-drying with compressed air is recommended.
10. Check that the chair is dry, wipe with a cloth if needed. Also check that all
labels are readable, if not change them (e.g. labels and stickers for tilting,
and attachment points for transport.).
11. If the wheelchair is not very dirty it may be sufficient to spray with alcohol
and wiping dry with a cloth.
12. The wheelchair is now reconditioned.
Dartex
Superficial dirt on the coating may be removed by wiping with a soft cloth
moistened with water containing a neutral detegent. More persistent con-
tamination may be treated by wiping with alcohols or turpentine substitute,
followed by hot water and detergent.
Proprietary disinfectants may be used provided manufacturer's instructions
are followed. The fabric may be washed at temperatures up to 71° C (160° F).

Reconditioning
Reconditioning
Lubricate all movable parts if they are sticking or squeaking with a dry teflon based
spray, e.g. Viso 900-B5.
Screws and nuts: Check that all screws and nuts are tight.
Chassis: All parts must be checked for cracks or other damages. Pay special
attention to areas close to welds. If damages are discovered the chassis must be
discarded.
Back rest: Check that the angle is easy to adjust, that it is esasy fold down and
that it locks as it should.
Push handles: Check that the external push handles are firm and that the screws
are tight.
Back and seat covers: Check that the velcro strips are intact and stick and that
the covers are intact, if not we recommend that torn parts are exchanged.
Sideguards/armrests: Check that they are intact and easy to remove and put
back.
Anti-tip device: Check that the anti-tip device is easy to raise and lower, and
that the screws holding the anti-tip device in place and in the correct position,
are tight.
Rear wheel attachment: Check that the screws on the rear wheel attach-
ment are tight. That the axle housing is correctly placed and tightened with a
manual and dynamometric wrench calibrated to 40 Nm. The axle housing must be
assembled with a sideguard of at least 3 mm and armrests at least 12 mm outside
of the axle housing.
Rear wheels: We recommend that the tyres are changed if the pattern is worn.
Missing spokes are replaced, loose ones are tightened. Especially on solid wheels
there is a risk of spokes becoming loose. Fasten the hand rim if it is loose. Feel the
hand rim to check if it is smooth and that no sharp bits are sticking out. In that
case exchange it. Check that the rear wheel axle is completely inserted into the
axle housing, and that the two locking balls stick out behind the axle housing and
locks the axle. Check the air pressure in the tyre. Correct air pressure is stated
on the tyre.
Castors: Remove the castors and clean the castor forks from dust and dirt. Apply
Loctite 246 to the screws and reassemble and check that the castors turn and
rotate smoothly. If the castors are air filled, check the pressure and pump them.
Correct air pressure is stated on the tyre. If the castors are solid check for cracks
and decide if they need to be changed.
Angle adjustable castor housing: Check that the castor housing is at a straight
angle (90 degrees) towards the floor. Tighten the screws.
Brakes: Check that the brake pin is not worn down. If the pin is worn it should
be changed for safety reasons. Check that all screws are tight. Test the brakes
with the correct air pressure in the tyres. In a braked position the pin should
press down the tyre 5 mm. If the brake pin is moved to another position, it is
important that thread locking, Loctite, is used in order to prevent the brake pin
from coming loose. When moving the brake pin it may be necessary to warm the
brake pin/screw with a heat gun. At the factory the brake pin is tightened with
thread soldering to prevent it from unthreading.
