8.4 Lighng maintenance:
DANGER!
Maintaining lights and indicators is a safety crical task. If your
lights and indicator system shows a defect, please contact your
Sunrise Medical Approved Dealer.
All lights and indicators are state of the art LED low energy, no
maintenance units. There are no light bulbs used. The high
intrinsic reliability of these units means that they are extremely
unlikely to fail under normal usage. If a failure should occur,
(may be as a result of an impact), the damaged light assembly
must be replaced in its enrety. The individual LED’s cannot be
replaced.
CAUTION!
• We recommend the use of Sunrise Medical authorized spare
parts only.
• Be advised that all lighng circuits are electronically
protected. In the event of a short circuit current will be
limited to a safe level. Once the fault is removed the system
resets automacally.
8.5 Cleaning and disinfecon
The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with a
slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any u or dust that has
accumulated around the motors should be blown or dusted
away.
CAUTION!
Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it
becomes wet or damp aer cleaning or if it is used in a wet or
damp atmosphere.
DANGER!
It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more than
one person it is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no cross
infecon.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfecon spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid alcohol-
based disinfecon of medical products and medical devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer’s instrucons for the
disinfectant you are using.
CAUTION!
• Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthec
detergents, wax polishes or aerosols.
• Disinfectants may be used in diluon as specied by their
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried
thoroughly.
WARNING!
• Always read the label on any commercial or domesc
cleaning substances.
• Always follow the instrucons carefully.
Cleaning controls: & Controller
Should the control of your wheelchair become soiled or dirty,
it can be wiped with a damp cloth with a dilute disinfectant
unl clean.
DANGER!
Important: If the wheelchair is to be used by more than one
person, follow the cleaning and disinfecon instrucons
carefully to ensure that there is no cross infecon.
8.6 Medium to long term storage:
When storing your wheelchair for long periods of me (in
excess of one week), follow these simple instrucons:
• Fully charge the wheelchair for at least 24 hours.
• Disconnect the charger.
• Disconnect the baeries.
WARNING!
Never store your wheelchair:
• Outside.
• In direct sunlight, (plasc parts may discolour).
• Near a source of direct heat.
• In a damp environment.
• In a cold environment.
• With the baeries/baery boxes connected, (even if the
controller is switched o).
Avoiding all of the above will minimise baery deep cycle
discharge and extend baery lifeme.
When returning the wheelchair to use, please reconnect the
baeries/baery boxes and charge the wheelchair for at least
24 hours before use.
