Checking Performance
As a user, you are the first to notice that your wheelchair is not operating properly. The following table
shows some readily identified symptoms and gives the preliminary checks to be carried out. As a general rule,
the parts subject to wear should be monitored and changed most often: tyres on the rear wheels, front castor
wheels, brake pads, upholstery.

tightened, consult your approved INVACARE distributor.
