drive. The 

MAINTENANCE

 section offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your 

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

certain that the user can safely operate the wheelchair with the adjustments selected. This 
person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment in which the 
wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual.
