Protect your E&J Traveler HTC 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 HTC 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

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.
