Protect your E&J Advantage Recliner 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 Advantage Recliner is not functioning properly, contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor 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 Advantage Recliner. Please contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor with service questions not answered by this manual.

Info: We recommend that you have a Graham-Field authorized distributor perform a six month maintenance check, as the distributor 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 maintenance 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 authorized distributor for assistance.

sNOTICE: Improper maintenance can cause operating problems 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.
