also strongly recommend that regular maintenance be done
by your servicing dealer.!

MAINTENANCE GUIDE!
Your wheelchair is designed to give you many years of trouble-free
use with proper care. Some servicing can be done at home, but we
recommend that periodic maintenance be performed at your dealer.!
Service frequency depends strongly on the type of use and your
dealer can best advise you on the time interval.!
CLEANING!
All chrome and painted parts can be cleaned with a mild !
non-abrasive cleaner such as window cleaner. Stubborn spots or
rust can be removed with automotive chrome cleaner.!
The arms and nylon upholstery should be cleaned with a mild soap
and water solution. Both should be rinsed well with clean water to
remove all soap residues. The molded wheels and casters should
also be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.!
LUBRICATION!
Your wheelchair has been made with low friction plastic, steel,
aluminum and polished chrome to reduce friction and wear.
However a light use of thin lubricant, such as WD40 or silicone
spray will reduce friction and wear, making your chair easier to
use.!
SAFETY AND HANDLING!
The safe handling of your chair depends on understanding the
purpose and function of your particular wheelchair model. !
Recognizing the chairs’ limitations will increase your confidence
level. !
LEANING!
Leaning should be avoided when possible, as this weight transfer
will reduce your chair’s stability. When leaning forward or
sideways make sure the casters are turned in the direction you are
leaning as this will lengthen the wheel base, increasing stability.!
Also make sure the wheel locks are engaged, to prevent your chair
from rolling.!
!

MANOUVERING RAMPS, CURBS, STAIRS!
Lean forward in chair, putting weight over front casters when
going up inclines. When going on descending inclines do so slowly
by controlling your speed using the handrims and not the wheel.!
To mount a curb use the tipping method, pull the chair backwards
and over the curb. To descend a curb do your tipping and either
pull yourself down backwards or roll yourself forward and down
very slowly.!
It is a definite no-no to use your chair on an escalator, find the
nearest elevator instead. Going up or down stairs should be done
with at least two attendants at all times.!
!
!
TRANSFERRING IN A WHEELCHAIR!
Attendant assistance is recommended to stabilize the chair and
help in lifting you, if necessary. Transfers are best accomplished by
following these guidelines:!
Use a chair with detachable or flip back arm.!
Position your chair as close as possible to the transfer object and
engage your wheel locks to prevent movement.!
Try to transfer to objects of the same height or close to.!

CASTERS!
Your casters are made of injection molded nylon and will not rust.
They are also fitted with sealed precision bearings (10) which
require no lubrication.!
!
Axle Adjustment on the caster
bearings, although not critical, may
also improve the performance. The
axle nut should be adjusted to
produce a smooth free running
caster without side play. Again do
not over tighten as this will damage
the bearings.!
If fluttering or pulling is
experienced, your stem bearings
(9) may need adjustment or
replacements. To adjust flip chair
back onto its push handle and
remove the dust caps (1) on the
caster sockets. Tighten the fork
stem nut (2) clockwise while
holding the caster assembly.
Check for smooth easy turning
without side or end plays while
adjusting, do not over tighten as
this may damage the bearings.!

REAR WHEELS!
Your wheels are made of injection molded nylon and will not rust. They are also fitted
with sealed precision bearings (7) which require no lubrication. However they may
need occasional adjustments, due to wear under normal use. Too much side play or
looseness or squeaking from your wheel means it needs to be checked. In most cases,
tightening of the axle bolt (2) will rectify this condition. Should squeaking of
looseness continue to exist after adjustment, the bearings might have to be changed.
See your servicing dealer for assistance.!

TIRES!
The standard tires on your chair are solid, maintenance free urethane. These tires
are reliable, long lasting and provide a very comfortable ride. However, if your
chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, they must be regularly checked for wear
and proper inflation. Air pressure should not exceed 40psi. Remember heated air
expands, and a wheel with 40psi in cold weather will greatly increase outdoors or
in the trunk of a car in the hot sun.!
!
WHEEL LOCKS!
The position of the wheel lock is pre-set at the factory to provide you with the
safest performance. However, with tire and brake shoe (3) wear, they may have
to be occasionally adjusted to ensure safety.!
To adjust, loosen the bracket bolt (5) and slide brake assembly (2) towards
wheel. Ensure that the brake holds securely but does not require too much effort
to be applied. Then tighten the bracket bolt, securing assembly at the appropriate
position. Although lubrication is not necessary, a light application can enhance
performance.!
