VII Maintenance

Protect your E&J Metro IC4 by having it serviced regularly. Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your wheelchair in safe working condition. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance. When you believe that a component or part of your Metro IC4 is not func- tioning properly, contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer immediately, as a potentially hazardous condition could result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.

Service manual

There is no service manual for the Metro IC4. Please contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer with service questions not answered by this manual.

Note: We recommend that you have a Graham-Field Health Products dealer perform a six month maintenance check, as the dealer may find and correct a problem which might otherwise go undetected and eventually cause more serious problems and/or personal injury.

Do-it-yourself maintenance

You can do many of the scheduled maintenance tasks yourself, if you have mechanical ability and a few basic tools. Refer to the mainte- nance schedule on the next page for the recommended regularity of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your Graham-Field Health Products dealer for assistance.

▲Caution: Improper maintenance can cause operating problem and may affect your warranty.

WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non- Everest & Jennings® replacement parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.
