check tire wear

Examine tires at least once a week for surface wear and cracks and replace them as needed. Replace tires when they become loose on the rims or cracks appear.

check handrims

Check handrims at least once a week. Inspect each handrim for rough or sharp edges and, if any are found, replace handrims immediately. Ensure that all hardware is properly aligned and secure.

check wheel lock engagement

Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. See Adjust wheel locks in Section 5 to adjust wheel lock engagement. If a wheel lock is worn or damaged, replace it immediately. Inspect the hardware for looseness or signs of wear.

Ensure that the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking assembly should be tight enough so that the wheel can not rotate or the lock slip. Check that the locking shoe does not press against the tire when in the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be required to either engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock pivot points with one or two drops of 30 weight oil. Remove excess oil and dirt.

check anti-tippers

Check the anti-tippers at least once a week. Ensure that the anti-tippers are securely fastened and properly positioned.

WARNING: When in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the downward position.

check handgrips

Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not ripped; ensure that they are tight and securely fastened.
