Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your VEVOR wheelchair.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The textile fabric seat and backrest are easy to clean; wipe with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Tire Inspection: Periodically check the solid PU tires for any signs of wear or damage. While puncture-proof, ensure they are free from debris that could affect traction.
• Brake Check: Regularly test the self-locking brakes to ensure they engage securely and hold the wheelchair in place. If brakes feel loose or ineffective, consult a professional.
• Frame and Fasteners: Inspect the aluminum alloy frame for any cracks, bends, or signs of stress. Check all screws, bolts, and fasteners for tightness and re-tighten if necessary.
• Moving Parts: Ensure all moving parts, such as armrest hinges and footrest pivots, operate smoothly. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if needed.
• Storage: Store the wheelchair in a dry, clean environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
