MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attachment hardware is tightened securely - otherwise, injury or damage may result.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

1.Before using your Tracer EXI wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

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 instructions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.

2.If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tire.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, the rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if damaged.

3.The rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced by a qualified technician if damaged.

4.Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. If loose, have them tightened by a qualified technician.

5.Periodically adjust wheel locks as tires wear. Refer to WHEEL LOCK ADJUST- MENT in SECTION 8 of this manual.
