13

5  ADJUSTMENTS

The MRI Transport Wheelchair offers several adjustments to make it easier and more comfortable 
to drive. The 

MAINTENANCE

 section offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your 

transport wheelchair in excellent condition; ensure that all components are in excellent condition 
before adjusting. The following are recommended methods; after a few adjustments, you may 
develop your own. Always consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the MRI Transport Wheelchair has the responsibility of 
making certain that the user can safely operate the transport wheelchair with the adjustments 
selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment 
in which the transport wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the transport 
wheelchair will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual. 
Specific tools needed to perform each adjustment are identified in adjustment directions. A 
complete list of tools needed to perform all adjustments in this section follows:

Phillips screwdriver 

7/16" wrench 

11/32" wrench 

5/16" wrench

REAR WHEELS & CASTERS

We recommend that you do not replace or adjust rear wheel or caster components yourself, since 
special tools and training are required. Please contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor 
when your rear wheels or casters need adjustment.

the rear socket.
