Clean them regularly using a cloth, small brush, or compressed air (such as keyboard cleaner spray). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once clean, apply a universal lubricant (like WD-40) to the bearings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat this process whenever the Wheeleo\u00ae becomes less smooth to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>It is recommended to avoid surfaces such as sand, water, grass, or gravel: they accelerate wear and require more frequent maintenance.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Check the Caster Attachments<\/h4>\n\n<p>To reinforce the tightening, you can apply a thread locker (for example, Loctite 243) on the threading before screwing back in (see video demonstration).<\/p>\n\n<p>The casters are attached by threaded rods. It is important to regularly check that they are tightly secured, especially when used on uneven or vibrating surfaces. <\/p>\n\n<p>If necessary, tighten them using a 14 mm wrench, turning clockwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To ensure smooth mobility and preserve your Wheeleo\u00ae for as long as possible, a few simple checks and maintenance steps are recommended: 1.
