MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After adjustments and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is securely tightened.

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

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES

1.Before using your Allegro, 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 opera- tion. Refer to ADJUSTING THE QUICK-RE- LEASE AXLE or ADJUSTING THE QUAD-RE- LEASE HANDLE in PROCEDURE 6 of this manual.

3.Oil quick/quad-release axles at least once (1) a month (3-in-1 oil or equivalent).

4.Periodically check the back fold down mecha- nisms to ensure that they lock the back securely in place. Disassemble and clean if necessary. Refer to REPLACING THE LOCKING MECHA- NISM IN THE BACK CANE in PROCEDURE 3 of this manual.

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

5.If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pres- sure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

6.The wheels and tires should be checked peri- odically for cracks and wear, and should be re- placed when necessary at your authorized dealer or by a qualified technician.

7.Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. Refer to HANDRIM REPLACEMENT in PROCEDURE 6 of this manual.

8.Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to ADJUSTING THE WHEEL LOCKS in PROCEDURE 7 of this manual.

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

10.Check Upholstery for sagging, rips or tears.

11.RECLINERS ONLY - Periodically check gas cyl- inders for oil leaks. If oil leak is detected, re- place the gas cylinder(s). Refer to REPLACING THE GAS CYLINDERS in PROCEDURE 8 of this manual.
