Helium Rev.I
6.0 Maintenance and care...
• If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it afterwards.
• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to
quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks. Depending
on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your
wheelchair to your authorised dealer every 6 months to have it
inspected by trained personnel.
• If you want to store the wheelchair for a long period of time,
then no further measures are required. Make sure that the
wheelchair is stored at room temperature in a dry place which
is protected from strong sunlight. Before using it again, the
wheelchair should be checked by an authorised dealer.
CAUTION!
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the
bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean the wheelchair
thoroughly after exposure.
The following parts can be removed and sent back to the
manufacturer/dealer for repair:
• Rear wheels
• Armrest
• Anti-Tip tubes
These components are available as spare parts. For further
information, please see the spare parts catalogue.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant from the DGHM list, e.g.
Antifect Liquid (Schülke & Mayr) for rapid alcohol-based
disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which
must be disinfected quickly.
Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on
seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and
back slings to avoid microbacterial contamination with active
agents according to § 6 infection protection law.
7.0 Disposal / Recycling of Materials
If the wheelchair has been made available to you free of charge,
then it does not belong to you. If it is no longer required, then
follow the instructions to return it as given by the organisation
that made the wheelchair available to you.
In the following section, there is a description of the materials
used on the wheelchair, in view of the disposal or recycling of
the wheelchair and its packaging.
Particular regulations with regard to disposal or recycling may
be in force locally and these must be taken into account when
performing disposal. (This can include the cleaning or
decontamination of the wheelchair prior to disposal).
Aluminium: Castor forks, wheels, sideguards for the chassis,
armrest frame, footrest, push handles
Steel: Fixing points, quick-release axle
Plastic: Handgrips, tube plugs, castor wheels, footplates,
armpads and 12” wheel/tyre
Packaging: Plastic bags made of soft polyethylene, cardboard
Upholstery:Woven polyester with PVC coatings and expanded
combustion modified foam.
Disposal or recycling should be done through a licensed agent
or authorised place of disposal. Alternatively your wheelchair
may be returned to your dealer for disposal.
8.0 Trouble-shooting
Wheelchair pulls to one side
• Check tyre pressure
• Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle)
• Check the castor angle
• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact
with the ground.
Castors begin to wobble
• Check the castor angle
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary
(see the section on torque)
• Check to make sure both castors are making proper contact
with the ground.
Wheelchair / Cross-tube assembly does not snap into
position in the seat saddle
• Chair is still new, i.e., the seat or backrest upholstery is still
very stiff. This will improve with time.
Wheelchair is difficult to fold up:
• Adjustable backrest upholstery is too stiff. Loosen it
accordingly.
Wheelchair squeaks and rattles
• Check to make sure all bolts are secure; tighten if necessary
(see the section on torque)
