Wheels

General care

Opening the chair

Closing/folding the chair

Large rear wheels should be inspected at least 
once a month to ensure proper tightness. If 
wheel wobbles or is loose, release lock nut 
and tighten axle bolt slightly. Test for proper 
tightness by leaning chair to one side and spin 
adjusted wheel.

Wipe chrome parts with a clean, soft
cloth at least once a week. All metal parts can 
be cleaned with auto wax or similar poducts. If 
exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not 
use an abrasive cleanser that will scratch the 
finish.

Open wheelchair by tilting to one side and 
pushing down on seat rail until fully opened.

First fold foot plates to vertical position. Grab 
seat with both hands at front and back edge 
and lift. Or, tilt chair to one side and lift up on 
seat rail.
