MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attachment hardware is tightened securely - otherwise, injury or damage may result.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

1.Before using your 9000 Series wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

2.9000 SL/9000XT ONLY - Keep quick-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer to ADJUSTING THE QUICK-RELEASE AXLE in SECTION 6 of this manual.

3.9000 SL/9000XT ONLY - Oil quick-release axles at least once (1) a month (3-in-1 oil® or equivalent).

WARNING

DO NOT use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.
