Crutch Holder

This device permits crutches to be transported directly on a wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop (1) to fasten crutches
or other aids. (Fig.24) CAUTION: Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids while moving.

Tray

(Fig.25)

The tray provides a flat surface for most activities. Before using a tray, it first has to be adjusted once to the width
of the seat by an authorized dealer. The user must be sitting in the wheelchair during the trial run.

TIRES AND MOUNTING:

Always make sure you that you maintain the correct tire pressure, as this can have an effect on wheelchair
performance. If the tire pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more effort to move the chair
forward; low tire pressure also has a negative impact on manoeuvrability. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire
could burst. The correct pressure for a given tire is printed on the surface of the tire itself.
Tires can be mounted the same way as an ordinary bicycle tire. Before installing a new inner tube, you should
always make sure that the base of the rim and the interior of the tire are free of foreign objects.
Check the pressure after mounting or repairing a tire. It is critical to your safety and to the wheelchair’s performance
that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tires be in good condition.

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:

wheelchair pulls to one side

:Check tyre pressure. Check to make sure wheel turns easily (bearings, axle). Check

to make sure both casters are making proper contact with ground

Casters begin to wobble:

Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see the page on torque).

Check to make sure both casters are making proper contact with the ground

wheelchair/Cross-tube assembly does not snap into position in the seat saddle:

Chair is still new, i.e.., the

seat or backrest upholstery is still very stiff. This will improve with continued use

wheelchair is difficult to fold up:

Screws of the cross-tube brackets are too tight

wheelchair squeaks and rattles :

Check to make sure bolts are secure; tighten if necessary (see the page on

torque). Apply small amount of lubrication to spots where movable parts come in contact with one another

wheelchair begins to wobble:

Check tyre pressure. Check to see if rear wheels are adjusted differently.

MAINTENANCE

•  Check the tire pressure every 4 weeks. Check all of the tires for wear or damage.
•  Check the brakes approximately every 4 weeks to make sure that they are working properly and easy to use.
•  Change tires as you would an ordinary bicycle tire.
•  All of the joints that are critical to safe using your wheelchair safely are self-locking. Please check every three

months to make sure that all bolts are secure (See the page on torque). Safety nuts should only be used once
and should be replaced after multiple uses.

• Please use only mild household cleansers when your wheelchair is dirty. Use only soap and water when cleaning

the seat upholstery. If your wheelchair should ever get wet, please dry it after use.

• A small amount of sewing-machine oil should be applied to quick-release axles approximately every 8 weeks.
• Depending on the frequency and type of use, we recommend taking your wheelchair to your authorized dealer

every 6 months to have it inspected by trained personnel.

CAUTION: Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can damage the bearings of the front and rear wheels. Clean
the wheelchair thoroughly after exposure.
