Cleaning and maintenance

INFORMATION
After storage of the wheelchair for a longer period of time, perform maintenance accordingly.
8.2 Cleaning and Disinfection
The wheelchair should be cleaned regularly according to how often it is used and how dirty it is. Clean the frame, plastic parts and wheels with a mild cleaning agent. After cleaning, dry all parts with a dry cloth. Clean cushions and upholstery with warm water and washing-up liquid. Remove stains with a sponge or a soft brush. Rinse afterwards with clean water and allow the parts to dry before mounting and using. To disinfect, use water-based agents and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

NOTICE

NOTICE
Clean the seat and back upholstery, cushions, handles and armrest before disinfecting.

8.3 Changing a Tire
If a tire is punctured, the user or a helper may be able to change it without assistance. The procedure requires having strong hands, practical ability and suitable tools. It is advisable to have a puncture repair kit and an air pump for emergencies (excluding situations with puncture proof tires). Suitable air pumps, puncture repair kits or puncture sprays that fill the tire with expanding foam can be purchased at most bicycle shops. Removing tires and tubes · Gently pull the tire edge over the edge of the rim with a tire lever (or two, if it is sitting very tightly). Take
care not to damage the rim or the tube (Image 14). · Screw off the valve nut and pull the valve out from the rim and the rim tape. · Pull out the tube from between the tire and the rim (Image 15). Repair and check-ups · Repair the tube according to the instructions in the repair kit or replace it with a new tube. · Before remounting the tire and tube, make sure that no foreign objects that may have caused the puncture
are caught in the rim or tire.
· Ensure that the rim tape is intact. It protects the tube against damage from the spokes.
· Push the tube into place between the tire and the rim. Mounting tires · Gently pull the clear tire edge over the edge of the rim. Starting with the valve.
· Check that there are no twists at all in the tube, otherwise air can get out.
· Work the whole way around until the last section of the tire edge is taut and can be edged into place with one or two levers.

Amasis/Skiing

Wolturnus - Amasis & Skiing- User manual 2022, v1.2

Cleaning and maintenance
Pumping tires · Check on both sides that the tube is not caught between the tire edge and rim. · Push the valve lightly in and pull It out again to make sure that it is not caught on the tire edge. · Fill the tire with air to the point where it is still possible to press it in with a thumb. If the control lines on
both sides of the tire indicate the same distance to the rim edge, the tire is centred. If the tire is not centred, let some air out and adjust the tire until it is centred. Now pump up the tire to its maximum working pressure (see the side of tire) or at least 3.5 bars (350 kPa). Then screw the dust cap on, tightly.

Image 14: Pull the tyre edge over the rim

CAUTION!
Ensure that the tires have the correct pressure before using the chair.The maximum air pressure limit is marked on the side of the tire. It must always be on a minimum of 3.5 bars (350 kPa) on the rear wheels.Like push wheel locks, the knee-lever wheel locks are only effective when the air pressure is sufficiently high and when they are correctly positioned.(When locked, the brake pad should push the tire in 5mm (allowing for technical alterations).

Wolturnus A/S strives to respect the environment as far as possible. An assessment has been done to determine the wheelchairs effect on the environment during its life cycle. During development, materials and forms are chosen that minimise waste of energy and material during production. Wolturnus A/S has a unique approach to individual user´s measurement and to the subquent special design of the chair to meet the user's needs, preferences and requirements.Combined with the wheelchair's mechanical quality, this ensures that the user can use the wheelchair for many years. The wheelchair lifetime is calculated to be approximately 5 years if maintained according to the instructions in this user´s manual. The long lifetime limits the wheelchair´s effect on the environment. Furthermore, meticulous quality control throughout the production process ensures that faults are rare, which limits the need to use superfluous resources on repairs or replacement products. Generally, all functions, working processes and labor at Wolturnus A/S are carried out with respect for the environment. Aluminum residue after the production process is collected in containers and delivered for recycling. During the mounting process, the usage of hazardous agents is kept to a minimum. Furthermore all work processes meet occupational safety requirements (APV). The usage of all materials is continually optimized to ensure minimum waste.
