MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching 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 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/quad-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer to ADJUSTING QUICK-RELEASE AXLES or ADJUSTING QUAD-RELEASE HANDLES in SECTION 5 of this manual.

WARNING

DO NOT use WD-40®, 3-in-1 oil®, or other penetrating lubricants on quick-release axles or camber inserts. Otherwise, binding and/or damage to the wheelchair may occur.

3.Clean quick-release axles and camber inserts once (1) a week with a Teflon® lubricant.

WARNING

DO NOT use your 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. The recommended tire pressure is on the sidewall of the tire.

4. Recommended tire pressure (p.s.i.) is listed on the sidewall of the tire.
