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.

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.
