Monthly Checks; Medline Limited Warranty - Medline Excel Owner's Manual

Monthly Checks:

Inspect the entire wheelchair for broken parts and loose fasteners. Replace or tighten as needed.
Front and Rear Tires-Solid tires require minimal maintenance, but should occasionally be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Replace the tires if they become cracked or severely worn.
Front Caster and Rear Wheels – Check that the wheels are not warped and the spokes are not broken. Also assure
that the bearings are in good working condition and the wheels spin freely.
Front Forks – Verify that the forks swivel freely without binding. If binding occurs, check the bearings and clean the
fork stem housing. If the nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy. If it is too tight, the chair will be difficult to
steer.
Wheels - The large rear wheels should be checked for correct tightness. If the wheel wobbles or is loose, the
bearings may be worn. The quick release bolt may not be locked in place or it may need to be adjusted. To check if
the quick release axle is locked in place, make sure the push button is popped out and that the two small ball bearings
are protruding through the holes on the opposite end of the axle. Do not attempt to adjust the quick release
mechanism unless you are qualified to do so. Take the wheelchair to your local dealer for service.
Quick release mechanism – The quick release mechanism should be checked for proper function. The quick
release should be cleaned and lubricated (or replaced if necessary) if the push button does not actuate easily or there
is dirt/grime build up.
Frame – Check that the frame is not bent or dented. Check the tubing for cracks and rust. If such issues are found,
take the wheelchair to your local service dealer.
Clean and lightly oil the three rear axles on each side of the frame to prevent rust. Plastic caps should be placed over
the axles while not in use.
