Instructions for cleaning and maintenance
- Clean all frame components and plastic parts using mild detergents only. (e.g. Sagrotan)
- Padding parts can be washed at 40 °C. If washed in a washing machine, put them in a
linen bag or a pillow case.
- In most cases, wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient..
- Do not use your SWINGBO Plus wheelchair in salt water.
- Keep sand or other particles from damaging the wheel bearings.
- If your wheelchair gets wet, towel-dry it as soon as possible.
- Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork. This can
restrict the caster wheels from rotating smoothly. Remove the caster and thoroughly clean
the fork and caster using a mild detergent.
- The rear wheels feature a quick-release system. To keep this system operational, ensure
that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or axle housing. The quick-release axle
should also be lightly lubricated regularly with resin-free sewing machine oil.
- Screw connections should be checked frequently, in particular when beginning to use the
wheelchair and after any adjustment. If a screw connection becomes loose repeatedly,
consult your dealer.
