SECTION 5—TROUBLESHOOTING

AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Twice a year, take your wheelchair to a qualified dealer for a thorough inspection and

servicing. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of

your wheelchair. To operate properly and safely, your wheelchair must be cared for just like any

other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and efficiency of your wheelchair. Initially

and at least every six months, follow these maintenance procedures:

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching

hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to

the frame tubing.

1. Before using your wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts

for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

2. Keep quick/quad‐release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and

proper operation. Refer to Adjusting Quick‐Release Axles on page 50.
