Wheelchairs need to be taken care of, they’ve got a great deal of responsibility in keeping you safe and mobile! To ensure a smoother ride with fewer issues, follow a few simple protocol steps to maintain the stability of your chair.
- Daily clean off your wheelchair frame to get rid of any dirt collected over the day.
- Do not let your wheels sit in water or stay wet for long periods of time.
- Periodically check your tire pressure to make sure they are full, use an air pump when needed!
- Weekly examine your tires carefully, checking for any punctures or damage that could lead to an accident.
- Use wax on the frame to make it easier to open and close!
- Monthly, check the screws and tighten anything that is coming loose.
- Every 6 months, use oil on the center and bottom of the x-brace and other pivot points on the chair.
- Replace your cushion if it begins to lose its bounce, this can lead to soreness from the pressure.
