4SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING

7.Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting Patient-Operated Wheel Locks on page 58.

Tire wear is excessive if:

Pneumatic Tires - there is missing tread or the tires are bald.

Urethane Tires - there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims. Rubber Tires - 30% or more of the tire has worn away.

Invacare recommends that tires and casters be replaced every five years.

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

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

10.Check upholstery for sagging, rips or tears.

11.Clean upholstery with mold soap and water.

12.Replace any labels that are missing, worn, or torn. Refer to Label Locations on page 8 for a listing of labels and their locations.

￿ WARNING

When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.

13. Hand grips should be checked monthly for wear/looseness/deterioration. Clean if desired. Replace if looseness or deterioration is found.
