Wheelchair is a tool to provide mobility and rehabilitation for people with physical disabilities or mobility problems. It can not only help users improve their quality of life, but also promote their physical and mental health. Therefore, it is very important to carry out routine care and maintenance to extend the service life, ensure safety and comfort, as well as prevent failures and damage.
According to the different types of wheelchairs, such as manual, electric, folding wheelchairs, etc., their maintenance and maintenance methods are also different. However, in general, the following aspects should be noted:
Cleaning: wheelchair in the process of use will be exposed to all kinds of dust, dirt, water vapor, etc., which will affect its appearance and performance. Therefore, it should be cleaned regularly with a professional cleaning agent or soapy water and dried with a dry cloth. Especially for electric wheelchairs, attention should be paid to prevent moisture from entering the circuit and battery, causing short circuits or leakage. In addition, also regularly clean cushions, backrest and other components, keep clean and dry, to avoid breeding bacteria and odor.
Lubrication: The active parts of the wheelchair, such as bearings, connectors, hinges, etc., need to add lubricating oil regularly to ensure flexible and smooth operation. Lubricating oils reduce friction and wear, extend the life of parts, and also prevent rust and sticking. When adding lubricating oil, pay attention to choose the appropriate variety and quantity to avoid too much or too little.
Check the tires: The tires are an important part of the wheelchair, which directly bear the weight of the user and the friction of the road. Therefore, it is necessary to check the pressure, wear and crack of the tire regularly, and inflate or replace it in time. Generally speaking, the pressure of the tire should be in accordance with the value indicated on the tire surface or slightly depressed by about 5 mm when pressed with the thumb. Too high or too low air pressure will affect the driving stability and comfort of the wheelchair.
Check the screws: There are many screws or nuts in the wheelchair to hold the various parts, such as the front wheel, rear wheel, brake, handle, etc. During use, these screws or nuts may loosen or fall off due to vibration or impact, which can cause structural instability or functional failure of the wheelchair. Therefore, these screws or nuts should be checked before use and once a month for loosening and tightened with a wrench.
Check the brake: the brake is an important device to ensure the safety of the wheelchair, which can control the wheelchair
