9. MAINTENANCE

Your I-Go Outlander wheelchair needs periodic maintenance. This is necessary for long 

and optimum comfort for the user of the wheelchair. A badly maintained wheelchair will 

give you more technical problems, make it harder to steer and it won’t be covered by 

the warranty. Preventative maintenance is very important. We advise your wheelchair 

is checked by a qualified dealer at least once a year. This dealer will replace the relevant 

parts where necessary. These annual inspections will make sure your wheelchair will 

function correctly for years.

There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your wheelchair in optimum  

condition. If you regularly check the wheelchair and perform small maintenance tasks, 

this will extend the lifetime of your chair and increase the ease of use.
