Wheelchairs can help some people in need very well, so people's requirements for wheelchairs are also gradually upgrading, but no matter what, there will always be small failures and problems. What should we do about wheelchair failures? Wheelchairs want to maintain a long life. Daily cleaning is an important part of maintenance work. Here are solutions to common problems and correct maintenance methods for wheelchairs.
2. Maintenance method of wheelchair
1. First of all, the wheelchair must be checked regularly to check whether the bolts of the wheelchair are loose. If they are loose, they should be fastened in time. In the normal use of the wheelchair, it is generally necessary to check every three months to ensure that all parts are in good condition. Check all kinds of solid nuts on the wheelchair (especially the fixed nuts on the rear axle). If they are found to be loose, they should be adjusted and fastened in time to prevent the patient from being injured when the screws are loose during the ride.
2. If the wheelchair is wet by rain during use, it should be wiped dry in time. In the process of normal use, the wheelchair should also be frequently wiped with a soft dry cloth, and coated with anti rust wax to keep the wheelchair bright and beautiful.
3. Always check the flexibility of the wheelchair and apply lubricant. If the wheelchair is not checked regularly, the patient's physical exercise and life will be hindered when the flexibility of the wheelchair decreases. Therefore, the wheelchair should be checked regularly and then lubricated to ensure its flexibility.
4. Wheelchairs should be cleaned regularly. Wheelchairs are a means of transportation for patients to exercise and participate in activities, which is very important for patients. In addition, the wheelchair will become dirty if it is used frequently, so it should be cleaned frequently to ensure its cleanness and tidiness.
5.The connecting bolts of the wheelchair seat frame are loose, and tightening is strictly prohibited.
All right, the Common failures and maintenance methods of wheelchairs have been introduced. I hope it will help you, thank you.
1.Common faults and maintenance methods of wheelchair
Fault 1: Tire puncture
1. Inflate the tire.
2. The tyre should feel firm when pinched. If it feels soft and can be pressed in, it may be air leakage or inner tube puncture.
