caregiver or authorized dealer if desired. Always use parts and/or acces-
sories that have been recommended or approved by Sunrise Medical when
servicing this chair.
A. INTRODUCTION
1. Proper maintenance will improve performance and extend the useful
life of your chair.
2. Clean your chair regularly. This will help you find loose or worn
parts and make your chair easier to use. You will need a mild deter-
gent solution and plenty of cleaning rags.
3. If discovered, have loose, worn, bent or damaged parts replaced
before using the chair.
4. To protect your investment, have all major maintenance and repair
work done by your authorized dealer.
5. Inspect and maintain this chair strictly per the safety checklist.
6. If you detect a problem, make sure to order parts, or have service,
and repair work done at your authorized dealer before use.

and service of your chair made by an authorized dealer.
B. CRITICAL SAFETY CHECKS
1. Tire Air Pressure:
Check air pressure in pneumatic tires at least ONCE PER WEEK. The
wheel locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air pressure
shown on tire sidewall.
2. Axles & Axle Sleeves:
When checking axles and axle sleeves every six months, make sure they are
clean and tight. Loose sleeves will damage the axle plate and will affect
performance.

ers are tight and that no parts have moved from their preset positions.

(not wet) cloth.
