Check backposts / push handles

Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure that all mounting hardware is securely fastened and that the backposts are not bent or damaged. Ensure that upper back folding mechanisms are secure, work correctly, and that there is no play in upper back fold points. Contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor if you observe back play, cracking or peeling paint or plating.

Check footrests

Check footrests 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 footrest will automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.

Cleaning your Transport Chair

Wipe off base and seat frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry the Transport Chair 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 fork must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling. Adjusting the stem nut varies the amount of force required to turn the caster. If the nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy; if the nut is too tight, the Transport Chair will be difficult to steer. If the caster stem requires 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.
