TIRES
Solid polyurethane tires need minimal maintenance, but should
be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Replace as needed
or immediately if tires become severely worn or start cracking.
FRONT CASTERS
Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated
occasionally. 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 it is too tight, chair will be difficult to steer.
SEAT UPHOLSTERY
Proper care and maintenance is important to keep your
wheelchair in good working condition and avoid premature
wear, damage and injury.
Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the
risk of injury.
GENERAL CARE

materials when cleaning. Dry the chair immediately if exposed

HAND GRIPS

use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or soap
on hand grips. This may cause the handgrips to loosen or slide

We recommend that the chair has at least one full service from
an authorized dealer once a year. If you notice any irregular
aspect of your chair and/or any of the items are loose worn, bent
or distorted, immediately have them checked and/or repaired
by your nearest authorized dealer for assistance. They will advise
if the chair should be returned for repairs. If the chair is to be
returned, they will advise on the availability of replacement units,
and the required method of packing and shipping. Frequent
maintenance and servicing will improve performance and extend
wheelchair life.
