CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
• 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.
* Use a non-toxic, hypoallergenic lubricant for all moving parts of the frame.
