1. Always store your chair in a clean, dry location. Excessive dirt can cause moving parts to
become damaged or fail. Moisture can rust or corrode the non-titanium components of your
chair.
2. Always fully inspect your chair after it has been stored for any period of time before riding in it.
See the chart under "Safety Inspections" on pages 20-22 of this Manual.
3. If you store your chair for more than three (3) months, have your chair inspected by an
authorized TiLite supplier.

some of the more common "adjustment" issues you may experience. If the solutions below do not

the chart below applies to your particular adjustment issue, always try one solution at a time until
