RMA Sport chairs are individually designed and hand-built as a bespoke sport product enabling the user to participate in a sport in which conventional wheelchairs are not capable of withstanding the dynamic /physical impacts and stresses the sport demands. As such, the standard requirements of manual wheelchairs are not fully applied to these products. Due to the nature of the chairs and the unique requirements for each user, the chairs are classified as ‘Custom Made Devices’ under the MDD and as such are exempt from bearing the ‘CE’ mark normally associated with Medical Devices. They do however have to comply with the Essential Requirements of Annex I of the MDD.

Upon receipt of your chair

- Ensure that your backrest is correctly adjusted and gives you the maximum support and comfort.
- If your chair is fitted with an adjustable footrest – make any adjustments.

Care and Maintenance
Always ensure the frame is structurally sound and there are no visible cracks present. Make sure the main wheel axles are correctly adjusted and the wheels are fully secured to the chair. (Quick release pin must be out) Check there is no debris wrapped around castor axles or bearings and the castor forks are secure – check for any excessive looseness in the castor forks and that they rotate freely. The tyres should be checked for correct pressures before each game. Regularly inspect your seat and back upholsteries for any tears, rips or degradation of the foams as this could lead to injury. Also check any straps.
Warranty
The frame has a 12 month return to base warranty in the unlikely event of any material failure.
Due to the intended use, tyres, wheel bearings and upholsteries are not warrantied against normal wear and tear.
Should you require any further modifications to your chair after use, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
