1 Maintenance
Lifetime of the liftchair is strongly influenced by its use, storage, regular maintenance,
servicing and cleaning.
1.1 Regular Maintenance
The maintenance activities to ensure a good condition for your Vermeiren liftchair are
described below:
Before every use
See that all the screws are tightened properly.
Check the liftchair (cleanliness, cracks, damage on upholstery or/and frame ...)
and make it clean.
Do not use your liftchair if you notice any defects but contact your local dealer.
Every 8 weeks: inspection from
Condition of the cushioning materials
Every 6 months or for every new user
General review
Mechanical integrity
Cleanness, Disinfection
Function of the electric parts
For your convenience, on the back of this manual is a maintenance plan.
Repairing and assembling of spare parts for your wheelchair may only be performed by the
specialist dealer.
Only authorized Vermeiren spare parts may be installed.
1.2 Shipping and storage
The shipping and storage of the liftchair shall be according following instructions:
Store in a dry place (between +5 °C and +45 °C).
The relative humidity of the air should be between 30% and 70%.
Provide sufficient covering or packaging to protect the liftchair from rust and foreign
bodies. (e.g. salt water, sea air, sand, dust).
Store all removed parts together in one place (or mark them if necessary) to avoid
mixing up with other products when re-assembling (e.g. the charger).
Components must be stored without being subjected to strains (Do not put too heavy
parts on the liftchair, not clamping between something, ...). Grasp the wheelchair by
solid frame parts only.
Check internal cables for squashing and the prevention of kinks.
Disconnect the power plug out the socket.

1.3 Care
The cleaning of your liftchair is possible with household products.
1.3.1 Upholstery
The cleaning of the upholstery shall done as follows:
Clean the upholstery with a cloth moistened in warm water. Take care that you do not
soak the upholstery.
Use a mild commercial detergent for removing stubborn dirt. We strongly advise you to
first test the cleaning product on a hidden part of your liftchair.
Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush.
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard metalbrushes.
Never clean with steam and/or pressure washers.
Do not wet the electrical parts.
Damage caused by the use of improper cleaning agents is not the responsibility of
Vermeiren.
1.3.2 Coating
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the
outer coating is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to
repair the affected surface.
When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes and
cloths. Ensure that no moisture gets into the components (tubes, electronics, ...).
Dulling can be avoided by lightly greasing steel parts with Vaseline.
1.3.3 Electronics
Before starting, it is important to unplug the power cable. Wipe the handset with a cloth
moistened by a few drops of a commercial domestic cleaner. Do not use any abrasives or
sharp-edged polishing equipment like a metal scrubber or brush, since these can scratch the
surface of the handset.
1.4 Inspection
In principle we recommend one inspection every year, and a minimum of one before usage is
resumed. All of the following checks must be performed and documented by authorized
persons:
Visually check the frame parts for plastic deformation, cracks and impaired functioning.
(basic frame, seat frame, back frame, motor suspensions).
Check the solidity and seating of all screws.
Visually check for damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion).
Check the plug connectors for corrosion or damage, since it could affect the efficiency of
the electric parts.
Check the cabling (especially for: crushing, abrasion, cuts, visible insulation of the inner
conductor, visible metallic veins, kinks, lumpiness, color changes of the outer sleeve,
brittle spots).
Electric cables to be securely placed to avoid shearing, crushing and other mechanical
stresses and strains.
Check the motors for adjustments (seat inclination, backrest inclination).
Completeness of the delivery condition, instruction manual available?
