check elevating legrests

Check elevating legrests at least once a month. Inspect the locking mechanisms to confirm sure fit. Check for cracks, burrs, or sharp edges, and replace if found. Ensure that the legrest will automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.

cleaning your Advantage Recliner

Wipe off the frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry the wheelchair immediately if exposed to moisture. Clean the frame every three months with a mild soap and water solution. The frame does not need to be waxed. Do not use solvents, abrasive waxes, caustic chemicals or spray silicone. Never use abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the finish. Never use steam or high pressure cleaners. Clean upholstery and plastic components at least once a month with a mild soap and water solution.

check casters

Check the caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months. The caster forks must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling. If caster stem adjustment is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy; if too tight, the wheelchair will be difficult to steer. If the caster stems require adjustment, or the stem bearings require replacement, contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor. Ensure that stems are firmly attached to forks, and that forks and stems are not bent. Evaluate all threads, locking nuts and bearings.

check wheel bearings

Have your Graham-Field authorized distributor check caster and rear wheel axle bearings at least every six months.
