17. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The devices in the ARDEA range by Moretti are CE marked and carefully checked before being
placed on the market. For the safety of the patient, your device should be checked at least
once every year by the manufacturer or an authorised laboratory to verify its suitability for
use. Use only original replacement parts and accessories for repairs.

17.1 Annual maintenance

It is recommended to have a complete maintenance service performed at an authorised
centre at least once a year. This ensures that the wheelchair works properly and avoids future
problems.
The annual service should include the following checks:
• Wheels and tyres
• Check on batteries, cables and electrical connections
• The controller's programming in relation to the user's requirements
• General check of the frame and fasteners, such as nuts and bolts
• Check on coverings and upholstery

17.2 Ordinary maintenance

• Clean the controller and the joystick
• Clean the frame and the upholstery to prevent any build up of dirt
• Check that the electrical connections are hooked up properly
• Keep the wheels clean of dirt and residue of any kind
• Lightly lubricate the wheel axles and springs every 3 months if necessary
• Inspect the tyres. The tread should not wear more than 1.5 mm
• Charge the batteries regularly
• Check that the joystick works properly, and that it returns to the centre when released.
In case of doubt, contact an authorised service centre
• Check the cable covers for damage and wear. In case of doubt, contact an authorised
service centre

17.3 Cleaning and disinfection

• DO NOT immerse the device in water for any reason!
• Use only a damp cloth to clean your wheelchair and wipe gently to avoid damaging the
controller
N.B. For more thorough disinfection, use a small amount of neutral detergent and dry it off
very carefully, making sure that no fluid enters the device.
• Never use acid, alkali or solvents (acetone or diluent) to clean it

18. TROUBLESHOOTING

Moretti wheelchairs are equipped with a device that constantly controls the electrical and
electronic system, to ensure safe and comfortable driving. If a malfunction or error occurs,
the LED with a wrench symbol flashes continuously for a specific number of times to indicate
that there is a problem when the wheelchair is switched on. The number of flashes indicates
the type of malfunction. Several suggestions on resolving the main problems you could have
with your wheelchair are provided below. To start self-diagnosis, press the ON/OFF button of
the electric wheelchair and count the number of flashes.
