5 SAFETY INSPECTION

Suggested Maintenance Procedures

1.Before using your wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.

2.Check all parts for damage or wear and replace.

3.Check all parts for proper adjustment.

4.Keep quick/quad-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer to Adjusting Quick-Release Axles on page 63 or Adjusting Quad-Release Handles on page 64.

￿ 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.

5.Clean quick-release axles and camber inserts once 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.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if damaged. Replace as recommended, refer to Replacing/Repairing Rear Wheel Tire/Tube on page 30 and Replacing/Repairing Caster Tire/Tube on page 30.
