Check arms

Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for sharp edges or cracks which could 
weaken the arm, and replace if found. Ensure that all attaching screws are present 
and tight. 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. Confirm that the posts at base of arm fit correctly in the sockets, snug 
but not binding.

Check backposts / push handles

Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure that all mounting hardware is secure-
ly fastened and that the backposts are not bent or damaged. Ensure that upper back 
folding mechanisms are secure, work correctly, and that there is no play in upper 
back fold points. 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 that the 
footrest will automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.

Cleaning your Transport Chair

Wipe off base and seat frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry 
the Transport Chair immediately if exposed to moisture. Clean the frame every three 
months with a mild soap and water solution. The frame does not need to be waxed. 
Do not use solvents, abrasive waxes, caustic chemicals or spray silicone. Never use 
abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the finish. Never use steam or high pressure 
cleaners. Clean upholstery and plastic components at least once a month with a mild 
soap and water solution.

Check casters

Check the caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months. The caster 
fork must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling. Adjusting the stem nut var-
ies 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 Transport Chair will be difficult to 
steer. If the caster stem requires adjustment, or the stem bearings require replace-
ment, contact your Graham-Field dealer. Ensure that stems are firmly attached to 
forks, and that forks and stems are not bent. Evaluate all threads, locking nuts and 
bearings.

Check wheel bearings

Have your Graham-Field dealer check caster and rear wheel axle bearings at least 
every six months.
