cleaning agent can be added to the water.
Plastic parts are best cleaned with a commercially available plastic
cleaner. Please observe the product information of the cleaning agent.

Plastic claddings are attacked by non-ionic surfactants and sol-
vents, especially alcohols!
•
Wipe the frame parts of the wheelchair with a damp cloth. For
heavier soiling, also use a mild cleaning agent.

Clean the wheels with a damp brush with plastic bristles (do not
use a wire brush!).

If this behaviour does not apply, inform your specialist dealer immedia-
tely and remove the wheelchair from service until it has been repaired!
8.3.2. Checking the tyres
Before each journey, check the tyres for integrity and correct air pressu-
re (see chapter 4.8.2).
