Please read this manual carefully to insure safe usage and understanding of
maintenance instructions.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Drive wheelchair. Drive wheelchairs are
a product of quality engineering and are manufactured to meet our own highly
rigid specifications and will surpass all your expectations.
Use and Safety
WHEEL LOCKS – Engage both wheel locks before getting in or out of chair,
leaning forward in chair, or while in an elevator or wheelchair lift. Proper
adjustment of wheel lock is at least 1/8” when locked. Locks are engaged by
pushing handle completely forward. Adjustments to locks are made by loosening
or tightening nut on the carriage bolt. Embed lock shoe at least 1/8” by
sliding clamp toward rear wheel while handle is engaged in locked position.
Tighten nut and bolt to secure in position. Test for correct locking action
before actual use.
TIRES – Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance, but should be
cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Replace if tires become severely worn
or cracking appears.
FRONT CASTERS – Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated
occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and greasing caster stem bearings.
Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel from fork. Reassemble fork and
wheel by tightening nuts until no play remains, but wheels roll freely.
If nut is too loose, caster will shimmy, if too tight, chair will be hard to
steer.
REMOVAL OF SWING-AWAY FOOT RESTS/LEG RESTS – Release lock by pushing on
the front rigging lever. Swingaway foot rest /leg rest out and sideways. Lift
to remove.
ADJUSTING LENGTH OF FOOTREST/LEG REST – When adjusting length of foot
rests or leg rests, user should be sitting in wheelchair with feet on the foot
plates. Loosen bolt on the clamp around support assembly. Raise or lower foot
plate to desired position that will provide maximum support of thighs. Front
rigging should not be so low that it causes uncomfortable pressure to thighs
at front of seat upholstery. Footrest should not be lower than 2-1/2” from the
ground to ensure clearance.
ADJUSTING/ELEVATING LEG REST – Lift foot plate on leg rest assembly to
desired position. Release leg rest assembly and it will automatically lock
into place. To lower, push out on leg rest lever and lower foot plate to
desired position.
WHEELS – Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a month to
ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles or is loose, release lock nut and
tighten axle bolt slightly. Test for proper tightness by learning chair to one
side and spin adjusted wheel.
GENERAL CARE – Wipe chrome parts with a clean, soft cloth at least once a
week. All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or similar products. If
exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleanser that
will scratch the finish.
TO OPEN CHAIR – Open wheelchair by tilting to one side and pushing down
on seat rail until fully opened.
TO CLOSE/FOLD CHAIR – First fold foot plates to vertical position. Grab
seat with both hands at front and back edge and lift. Or, tilt chair to one
side and lift up on seat rail.
REMOVABLE ARMS – Remove arms by depressing spring button and lifting arms
out of front and rear sockets.
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust or operate wheelchair without reading carefully all
instructions in this manual.
This wheelchair has not been approved as a seat that can be used within
vehicles of any kind. Always transfer wheelchair user to a vehicle
manufacturers approved seat and use safety restraints available.
Do not operate this wheelchair on roadways, streets or any surfaces with
vehicular traffic.
Do not attempt to operate on inclines 10o or greater without proper
assistance.
Be sure to completely engage wheel locks when getting in and out of wheelchair
or when in elevator or wheelchair lift.
Wheelchair should be on a smooth, stable and level area with wheel locks
engaged before transferring user in or out of wheelchair.
Do not adjust foot rests any lower than 2-1/2” from floor.
When getting in or out of wheelchair, do not stand on or apply weight to foot
rests.
Before reaching or leaning forward, rotate casters to front of the wheelchair
engage wheel locks to help prevent wheelchair from tipping over.
Do not lean over or apply weight to the top of wheelchair back. This can cause
wheelchair to tip over.
When trying to extend arms over back, only reach as far as your arm can extend
without having to alter your seating position.
DO NOT stand on wheelchair.
DO NOT use wheel locks to slow your descent down an incline.
Abruptly changing directions while going down an incline could cause
instability or possible tipping over. 
CAUTION:
Stability – Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as
center of gravity is maintained while going about normal activities. Care must
be taken while performing activities that shift your center of gravity in the
chair. Never reach so far that require you to shift in the seat or bend over
out of the chair. When you have to reach for objects that require you to lean,
be certain front casters are pointing in a forward position that extends the
wheel base and will stabilize the chair.
Ramps – Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before
attempting to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be
shown to you by a qualified professional. Assistance is recommended when going
up or down inclines greater than 10o. If you must stop on an incline, avoid
sudden, abrupt movement when you resume movement. Because of backward angle of
the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use
the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping to one side,
or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing direction when going down an incline,
as this could result in instability of tipping over.
