PERIODIC INSPECTION & CARE
Wheels
- Large rear wheels should be inspected
at least once a month to ensure proper tightness.
Check for wheel wobble or looseness.
General Care
- Wipe chrome parts with a clean,
soft cloth at least once a week. All metal parts can
be cleaned with auto wax or similar products. If
exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use
an abrasive cleanser that will scratch the finish.
USE & SAFETY
Wheel Locks

getting in or out of chair, leaning forward in chair,
or while in an elevator or wheelchair lift. Locks are
engaged by pushing handle completely forward.
Adjustments to locks are made by loosening or
tightening nut on the carriage bolt. Tighten nut
and bolt to secure in position. Test for correct
locking action before actual use.
Tyres
- Solid tyres need minimal maintenance,
but should be cleaned occasionally with a damp
cloth. Replace if tyres become severely worn or
cracking appears.

- Castors should be checked
periodically and lubricated occasionally.
