MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CARE
Wipe all chrome parts with a clean, soft cloth at least once a week. If
exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, as this
will scratch the finish.
TIRES
Replace tires if they become severely worn or cracking appears.
FRONT CASTERS
Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated occasionally. Lubricate
the casters by removing the fork and greasing the caster
MAINTENANCE continued
stem bearings. Lubricate the wheel bearings by removing the wheel from the fork. Reassemble the fork and wheel by tightening the nuts until no play remains but wheels roll freely. If the nut is too loose, the caster will shimmy, if too tight, the chair will be hard to steer.
WHEELS
Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a month to ensure proper tightness. If a wheel wobbles or is loose, release the lock nut and tighten the axle bolt slightly. Test for proper tightness by leaning the wheelchair to one side and spinning the adjusted wheel.

WARNINGS
Do not adjust or operate Wheelchair without carefully reading and understanding all instructions in this manual.
- Be sure that attendants are fully knowledgeable regarding proper assisting procedures. Consult your physician, nurse, or physical therapist to determine the safest and most effective method of operation for your individual needs.
- This Wheelchair should not be used as a seat in any type of motor vehicle.
- Do not operate this wheelchair on any roadway or street or on any surface with vehicular traffic.
- Do not operate on inclines without proper assistance.
- When getting in and out of wheelchair or when in elevator or wheelchair lift, wheel locks must be fully engaged.
- Wheelchair should be on a smooth, stable and level area with wheel locks engaged before transferring user in or out of wheelchair.
USING WHEEL LOCKS
The wheel locks should be engaged against both rear wheels before sitting down
or getting up from the chair.
STABILITY
DO NOT move forward on the seat while leaning forward out of the chair. If
absolutely necessary, make sure the casters are in the forward position. This
creates a longer wheelbase and gives the wheelchair more stability. Never
reach further forward than the length of your arm, as this can cause tipping.
SAFE TRANSFER
It is recommended that you work with a qualified healthcare professional
before attempting to transfer on your own. Ensure that the wheelchair is on a
smooth, stable, and level surface with wheel locks engaged before
transferring. Position the wheelchair as close as possible to the seat you are
transferring to. Rotate the front casters until they face fully forward.
Ensure that armrests are out of the way and remove or swing footrests out of
the way if possible.
Do not stand on or apply weight to the footrest when getting up, as this can
cause tipping.
RAMPS AND SLOPES
Be certain of your physical capabilities and limitations before attempting to
propel the wheelchair up a ramp. It is recommended that you consult with a
qualified professional to learn the proper techniques for ramp negotiation
before attempting to do so on your own.
Do not use the chair on an incline steeper than 10% without assistance. Never turn or change direction on a slope and always stay in the middle of the ramp. If it is necessary to stop while on a slope, avoid abrupt or sudden movements when you resume moving. Never use the rear wheel locks as breaks to slow or stop your chair, as this could cause the wheelchair to veer or tip to one side.
