MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attach- ing hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

CAUTION

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

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

1.Keep quick-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper opera- tion. Refer to ADJUSTING THE QUICK-RELEASE AXLE in PROCEDURE 8 of this manual.

WARNING

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

2. Clean quick-release axles once (1) a week with a Teflon® lubricant.

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.

3.If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pressures will be listed on the side wall of the tires.

4.Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to WHEEL LOCK AD- JUSTMENT in PROCEDURE 9 of this manual.

5.Make sure that ALL bolts are tight before operating wheelchair.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced.

6.The wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced.

7.Keep tilt slides and roller bearings free of dirt and lint to ensure proper operation of the tilt mechanism.
