maintenance tips

Proper care and maintenance is important in
order to keep your Super Lite Transport Chair in
good working condition. Be sure that your chair is
in proper working condition at all times. A
qualified dealer or repair center (wheelchair
rental dealer) should be consulted for periodic
inspections and repairs.
1. At least once a week, wipe off the frame
using a clean and soft cloth. If the chair is
exposed to moisture, dry the chair
immediately. The metal parts of the chair
should be replaced promptly as it may not
support your body weight.
2. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap
solution, rinse and wipe dry. Worn or torn
upholstery should be replaced promptly as it
may not support your body weight.
3. Inspect the wheels at least once a month.
Correct any side play by loosening the lock
nut on the axle, then tighten the axle just
enough to remove side play.
4. Solid rubber tires require limited upkeep,
but need to be cleaned periodically with
a damp cloth. Solid rubber tires need to be
replaced if they become cracked or
severely worn.
It is important for the attendant to be familiar
with proper assisting procedures in any situation
that requires the use of the Super Lite Transport
Chair. Safety is the key consideration. Consult
your physician, nurse or physical therapist to
determine methods most suitable for your
individual needs and abilities.
