1.6 Safety rules
L To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects
and/or body parts are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.
L The parking brakes should be applied before getting into and out of the wheelchair.
L When getting into and out of the wheelchair, do not stand on the footplate. These
should be folded up beforehand.
L Investigate the effects of shifting the centre of gravity on the behavior of the wheelchair,
for example on up or down gradients, on laterally sloping ground, or when overcoming
obstacles. Obtain support from an attendant.
L If you want to pick up something (lying in front of, on the side, or to the rear of the
wheelchair), you should not lean too far out to avoid tipping over.
L When moving through doors, arches, etc. ensure that there is enough room at the sides
so that you do not get your hands or arms caught or crushed and that there is no
damage to the wheelchair.
L Only use your wheelchair according to regulations. For example, avoid uncontrolled
rolling against obstacles (steps, kerbs, doorframes, etc) or dropping down from ledges.
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for damage caused by overloading, collision
or other improper use.
L Stairs may only be negotiated when aided by another person. If furnishings like drive-on,
ramps or lifts are available, use them.
L When moving on the public highway, you are subject to the rules of the road.
L When driving your wheelchair, you should not be under the influence of alcohol or
medicine as in the case of driving other vehicles. This also applies to indoor driving.
L When travelling outdoors, adapt your driving to weather and traffic conditions.
L When transporting the wheelchair, never pick it up by grasping movable parts (splash
guards, footplate, etc.)
L To be better visible when driving in the dark, wear the brightest possible clothing or
clothes with reflectors, and check that the reflectors mounted on the sides and rear of
the wheelchair are clearly visible.
L Be careful when using possible causes of fire such as cigarettes since they may set the
seat and back covers alight.
L Never exceed the maximum load of 60 kg.
2 Use
This chapter describes the everyday use. These instructions are for the user and the
specialist dealer.
The wheelchair is delivered fully assembled by your specialist dealer. The instructions

4 Maintenance
Lifetime of the wheelchair is influenced by its use, storage, regular maintenance, servicing
and cleaning.
4.1 Regular Maintenance
The maintenance activities to ensure a good condition for your Vermeiren wheelchair are
described below:
•Before every ride
Check the tyres and make them clean. If necessary change the tire.
Check the brakes and adjusted if necessary.
Check the wheelchair (cleanliness, cracks, damage on structural parts ... .)
and make it clean. If necessary change the coating.
•Every 8 weeks: inspected and lubricating or adjusting from
Splash guards
Footplate
Brake lever
Wheel axles
•Every 6 months or for every new user
General review
Disinfection
Frontwheels
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.
4.2 Shipping and storage
The shipping and storage of the wheelchair shall be according following instructions:
•Store in a dry place (between +5 °C and +41 °C).
•The relative humidity of the air should be between 30% and 70%.
•Provide sufficient covering or packaging to protect the wheelchair 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.
•Components must be stored without being subjected to strains (Do not put too heavy
parts on the wheelchair, not clamping between something, ...).
4.3 Care
4.3.1 Seat and back cushion
The cleaning of the seat and back cushion shall be according:
Clean seat and back cushion with a cloth moistened with hot water. Be aware that
you do not soak the seat and back cushion.
Use a mild commercial detergent for removing stubborn dirt.
Stains can be removed by using a sponge or a soft brush.
Do not use strong cleaning liquids like solvents, nor use hard brushes.
Never clean with steam and/or pressure washers.

925
2011-07
Page 15
4.3.2 Plastic parts
Clean plastic parts of your wheelchair with commercial plastic cleaners. Only use a soft
brush or soft sponge.
Examples of plastic parts are the splash guards, tyres and ... .
4.3.3 Coating
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the
outer coat 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 wetness gets into the tubes.
Initially the zinc parts only require rubbing with a dry cloth. Stubborn dirt can best be
removed by using a suitable commercial zinc polish.
4.4 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:
•Check the frame parts and the hinged tubes for plastic deformation, cracks and
impaired functioning.
•Visually check for damage to the paintwork (danger of corrosion)
•Check the operation of the wheels (free running, level rolling, axle play, tyres, profile,
condition of the rims, air pressure in the case of air tyres, floating axles, etc.)
•Check the solidity and seating of all screws.
•Verify the amount of grease on the metal joints of movable parts.
•The condition and security of the guides and axles of the steering wheels.
•Visually check all plastic parts for cracks and brittle spots.
•Check the functioning of the splash guards and footplate (locking, load, deformation,
wear caused by loads).
•Check the operation of other detachable parts (example: personal safety belt, fitting
back/seat, etc.)
•Completeness of the delivery condition, instruction manual available?
The service must only be signed off in the maintenance plan if a minimum of all the above-
mentioned aspects have been checked.
