Service & Maintenance
Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.
Daily Checks
- Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.
- Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.
- Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.
- Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.
- Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.
Weekly Checks
- Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.
- Check the tension of the seat upholstery. It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.
Monthly Checks
- Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
- Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
Yearly Checks
- Schedule a complete inspection with Recare's qualified technicians to address deeper maintenance needs and ensure optimal performance.
Tyre Pressure Adjustment
The owner or an assistant can perform Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools. Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.
