• Cleaning the Upholstery: The chair features durable Rhino-Hide upholstery. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning.

• Frame Inspection: Periodically check the aircraft-quality aluminum frame for any signs of stress, cracks, or bending. Ensure all bolts, screws, and locking mechanisms are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Moving Parts: Lubricate moving parts and adjustment points with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff or difficult to operate.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the chair and store it in its wheeled carrying case in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

• Chair Instability:

  Ensure the chair is fully unfolded and all locking pins or levers are engaged. Verify that the chair is placed on a flat, level surface. Check for any loose bolts or connections on the frame and tighten them.

• Difficulty Adjusting Components:

  Make sure all relevant locking knobs or levers are fully loosened before attempting to adjust the face cradle, chest pad, armrest, or seat pad. Do not force adjustments. If mechanisms are stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.

• Uncomfortable Seating:

  Adjust the seat pad height and angle to best suit the client's body. The Apollo chair features a large seat cushion for enhanced comfort. Ensure the chest pad and face cradle are also correctly positioned to distribute weight evenly.
