The Traveler HTC offers several adjustments to make it easier and more comfortable to drive. Section 7, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your wheelchair in excellent condition; ensure that all components are in excellent condition before adjusting. The following are recommended methods; after

a few adjustments, you may develop your own. Always consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for assistance.

The person performing adjustments on the Traveler HTC has the responsibility of making certain that the user can safely operate the wheelchair with the adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment in which the wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will travel.

All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual. Specific tools needed to perform each adjustment are identified in adjustment directions. A complete list of tools needed to perform all adjustments in this section follows:

Hex wrench furnished with wheelchair

M13 wrench

M10 wrench

M5 hex key

M4 hex key

ReAR wHeeLS & CASTeRS

We recommend that you do not replace or adjust rear wheel or caster components yourself, since special tools and training are required. Please contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor when your rear wheels or casters need adjustment, or if you wish to change seat height.
