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
