USE AND SAFETY
WHEEL LOCKS
Engage both wheel locks before getting in or out of
chair, leaning forward in chair, or while in an elevator or
wheelchair lift. Proper adjustment of wheel lock is at least
1/8" when locked. Locks are engaged by pushing handle
completely forward. Adjustments to locks are made by
loosening or tightening nut on the carriage bolt. Embed lock
shoe at least 1/8" by sliding clamp toward rear wheel while
handle is engaged in locked position. Tighten nut and bolt
to secure in position. Test for correct locking action before
actual use.
TIRES
Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance, but should
be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Replace if tires
become severely worn or cracking appears.
FRONT CASTERS
Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated
occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and greasing caster
stem bearings. Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel
from fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by tightening nuts
until no play remains, but wheels roll freely. If nut is too
loose, caster will shimmy, if too tight, chair will be hard to
steer.

away foot rest /leg rest out and sideways. Lift to remove.
ADJUSTING LENGTH OF FOOTREST/LEG REST
When adjusting length of foot rests or leg rests, user should
be sitting in wheelchair with feet on the foot plates. Loosen
bolt on the clamp around support assembly. Raise or lower
foot plate to desired position that will provide maximum
support of thighs. Front rigging should not be so low that
it causes uncomfortable pressure to thighs at front of seat
upholstery. Footrest should not be lower than 2-1/2" from
the ground to ensure clearance.
ADJUSTING/ELEVATING LEG REST
Lift foot plate on leg rest assembly to desired position.
Release leg rest assembly and it will automatically lock
into place. To lower, push out on leg rest lever and lower
foot plate to desired position.
WHEELS
Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a
month to ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles or is
loose, release lock nut and tighten axle bolt slightly. Test
for proper tightness by learning chair to one side and spin
adjusted wheel.
