Check wheel lock engagement

Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. If a wheel lock is worn or damaged, have your Graham-Field authorized distributor 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 (optional)

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

Check hand grips

Check hand grips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not ripped. Ensure that they are tight and securely fastened.

Check upholstery and carrying straps

Check upholstery and carrying straps at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn spots. Ensure that all upholstery and carrying-strap-attaching screws are present, properly aligned, and well-secured. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten mounting screws. Check attaching screws for sharp edges or stripped screws, and replace if found.

WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery, or upholstery with loose hardware, must be replaced immediately. It may not support body weight.

Check rear wheel adjustment

Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Check alignment by elevating the rear of the Transport Chair on a stable object until the rear wheels clear the ground, or placing the Transport Chair upside down in a stable position such that the wheels can spin freely. Spin the wheels; there should be no wobble or sideplay, and the wheels should spin freely without binding. The bearings should be clean and rotate smoothly. Check rim sideplay to verify that bearings are not too loose. If there is a problem, contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor. If adjustment is required, this should be done by your Graham-Field authorized distributor only.

Check arms

Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for sharp edges or cracks which could weaken the arm, and replace if found. Ensure that all attaching screws are present and tight. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten arm pad mounting screws. Check for burrs on the screw heads and replace if found. Ensure that screws do not extend into the padding. Confirm that the posts at base of arm fit correctly in the sockets, snug but not binding.
