CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
• When going down a curb, approach the curb backwards.
Lower the rear wheels down the curb and continue
backwards, taking the weight off the front wheels so they
can be gently lowered.
• Maintain control of the chair at all times while going
up/down ramp. Avoid steep slopes, particularly with
a heavy occupant. If in doubt, do not attempt a
descent unless a third party is present to help
maintain control of chair.
• When transferring user to or from chair, apply foot wheel locks.
Chair Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be conducted on a regular basis: Examine your Convaid
product visually from time to time for possible wear and tear. Lubricant should be applied to frame and
moving parts to maintain easy folding and adjustment.
a) Tire Air Pressure:
The air pressure in your tires should be checked WEEKLY, since low air pressure
may affect brake ability.
b) Axles and Moving Parts:
Axles and moving parts should be wiped off WEEKLY with a slightly moist
cloth, to remove dust, dirt and mud. Apply some lubricant after each cleaning.
c) Repair or replace loose, worn, bent, missing or damaged parts before using the chair!
d) Flat Tire:
In the event of a flat tire, please contact customer service or your local dealer for specific
repairing instructions.
