Further information on maintenance
• Bolted connections must be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or after
adjustments have been made to the wheelchair� If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact the dealer who
issued the product to you or the manufacturer's service promptly�
• Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork� This can restrict the caster
wheels from rotating smoothly over time� Remove the caster wheel and thoroughly clean the fork and caster
wheel using a mild household cleaner�
• The rear wheels are equipped with a quick-release axle system as standard equipment� To keep this system
operational, ensure that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or receiver bushing� Periodically lubricate the
quick-release axle very lightly with thin, resin-free oil (sewing machine oil)�
• The spokes should be lightly lubricated with petroleum jelly on occasion�
• If the wheelchair becomes wet, it should be rubbed dry again�
