6.The wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced at your authorized dealer or by a qualified technician.

7.Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. Refer to Replacing Handrims on page 63.

8.Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting the Wheel Lock on page 67.

9.Periodically check front caster wheel bearings to make sure they are clean and free from moisture. Use a Teflon® lubricant if necessary.
