C. MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Axles & Axle Sleeves
Check axles and axle sleeves every six months to make sure they
are tight. Loose sleeves will damage the camber tube and will affect
performance.
2. Tire Air Pressure
Check air pressure in pneumatic tires at least ONCE A WEEK. The
wheel locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air
pressure shown on tire sidewall.
3. Wheel Locks
Inspect the wheel locks and their frame attachment brackets week-
ly, ensuring that all fasteners are tight and the wheel lock arms
embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked.
4. Armrests
Inspect the armrest attachment brackets and the armrest at least
every 6 months ensuring that all fasteners are tight and no parts
have moved from their preset position.
5. Camber Tubes and Camber Plugs
Inspect the camber tubes and plugs every 6 months ensuring that
all fasteners are tight and no parts have moved from their preset
position.
6. Wheelchair Frame
Inspect the wheelchair frame for cracks, dings and dents every 6
months, more frequently if used more aggressively.
7. Upholstery
Inspect the upholstery fabric for wear and tear every 3 months.
Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or thin
spots, or stretching of fabrics at rivet holes.
8. Backrest Tension Adjustable
Sunrise Medical recommends that all components be checked for
wear every month. Loose fasteners should be retightened accord-
ing to installation instructions. Any worn material that no longer
meets its intended use should also be replaced.

month.

three months.

damp (not wet) cloth.

moving parts.
