7 Maintenance

Protect your E&J Traveler SE 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 Traveler SE is not functioning properly, contact your Graham-Field dealer immediately, as a potentially hazard- ous condition could result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.

Service manual

There is no service manual for the Traveler SE. Please contact your Gra- ham-Field dealer with service questions not answered by this manual.

Note: We recommend that you have a Graham-Field dealer per- form 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 maintenance schedule on the next page for the recommended regularity of each proce- dure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your Graham- Field dealer for assistance.

Caution: Improper maintenance can cause operating prob- lem 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 con- dition resulting in serious personal injury.
