Check wheel lock engagement

Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. If a wheel lock is worn or damaged, have 
your GF authorized distributor replace it immediately. Inspect the hardware for looseness or 
signs of wear.
Ensure that the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking assembly should be tight 
enough so that the wheel can not rotate or the lock slip. Check that the locking shoe does not 
press against the tire when in the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be required to 
either engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock pivot points with one or two drops of 
30 weight oil. Remove excess oil and dirt.

Check handgrips

Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not ripped. Ensure that they are 
tight and securely fastened.

Check back upholstery

Check back upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn spots. Ensure 
all upholstery-attaching screws are present, properly aligned, and well-secured. Use a Phillips 
screwdriver to tighten mounting screws. Check attaching screws for sharp edges or stripped 
screws, and replace if found. 

 WARNING: Worn or torn back upholstery, or back upholstery with loose hardware, must be 

replaced immediately. It may not support body weight.

Check arms

Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for sharp edges or cracks which could weaken the 
arm, and replace if found. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten arm pad mounting screws. 
Check for burrs on the screw heads and replace if found. Ensure that screws do not extend into 
the padding.

Check backposts / push handles

Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure all mounting hardware is securely fastened and 
backposts are not bent or damaged. Contact your dealer 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 footrests will 
automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.

Check front caster stems

Check front caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months. Front caster forks 
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 Rehab Shower Commode will be difficult to steer. If the front caster 
stems requires adjustment, or any caster bearings require replacement, contact your GF 
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 caster/wheel bearings

Have your GF authorized distributor check front and rear caster/wheel bearings at least every 
six months.
