SECTION 5—MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Every six months or sooner, as necessary, take your wheelchair to a qualified technician 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.

Maintenance

After adjustments and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is securely
tightened, otherwise injury or damage may result.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to
the frame tubing.

Suggested Maintenance Procedures

1. Before using the wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for
damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.
DO NOT use WD-40, 3-in-1 oil, or other penetrating lubricants on quick-release
axles. Otherwise, binding and/or damage to the wheelchair may occur.
2. Clean/oil quick‐release axles once a week with a Teflon™ lubricant.
3. Periodically check the back fold down mechanisms to ensure that they lock the back
securely in place. If the back does not lock properly, take the wheelchair to a qualified
technician for disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the locking
mechanism.WARNING
DO NOT use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT
overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to
explode and cause bodily harm.
4. If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tire.
