Maintenance Safety Precautions
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely.
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.
2. Keep quick‐release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper
operation. Refer to Adjusting the Quick‐Release Axle on page 62.
3. Oil quick‐release axles at least once a month (3‐in‐1™ oil or equivalent).
4. NON‐RECLINER SEAT FRAMES ‐ Periodically check the back fold down
mechanisms to ensure that they lock the back securely in place. Disassemble and clean
if necessary. Refer to Replacing the Locking Mechanism in the Back Cane on page 52.
