Service Records should be completed by the Authorised Distributor Servicing 
Department and retained by the user as a reference.  
The Authorised Distributor should carry out Service checks at the recommended 
interval specified on the Service Record. We recommend that the distributor check 
chairs at assessed intervals, according to the level of use and usage environment. A 
Handling chair used frequently should be serviced annually.  
 
Batch code and serial numbers are essential for the specification of spare parts. 
If in doubt, your Authorised Dealer or Rehabilitation Specialist will be able to provide 
help and professional advice on correct and safe use of wheelchairs. 
 

 

All Remploy products are designed with the needs of disabled people in mind.

they need for a more active and improved lifestyle.  
Remploy Healthcare Group has a policy of constant product improvement and 
reserves the right to change specifications without prior notice. 
   
1.14  DISTRIBUTOR SERVICE CHECK LIST 

Brakes
 

 

The brake should hold the chair on a ramp angle of approx. 10 
degrees.                                                                                          

Wheels
 

 

Check general condition, free running and clearance in hubs, wheel 
wobble of 3mm measured at rim is acceptable, excessive movement is 
an indication of wear.  Chairs with damaged tyres will require wheel 
replacement. 

Moving 
Parts 

Occasional lubrication of sliding parts and pivots. We recommend the 
use of a non-toxic lubricant be used.                                                   eg 
Superlube Plus (from Lubrication Services) which is FDA approved for 
food use, will allow easy operation. 

Upholstery 
and trim 

The upholstery should be wiped with a damp cloth. Marks can be 
removed using a mild detergent. Washing of the complete chair may 
be carried out by a in a purpose built machine. Pressure washing is not 
recommended. Minor upholstery damage should be repaired before it 
causes problems. A slight catch in the upholstery may result in a longer 
tear if not dealt with when it first occurs. Torn and damaged upholstery 
and handgrips should be replaced.  

Frame and 
Fittings 
 

 

Check for strain and misalignment. Check for security of fasteners. 
Paintwork damage should be touched up, and generally protected 
using a proprietary car wax polish. Check that all detachable parts latch 
in correctly and positively, particularly backrest lock, footrests and 
armrests.
