When going down a curb, approach the curb
backwards. Lower the rear wheels down the
curb and continue backwards, taking the weight
off the front wheels so they can be gently
lowered. Fig.221
Maintain control of the chair at all times while
going up/down ramp. Avoid steep slopes, partic-
ularly with a heavy occupant. If in doubt, do not
proceed unless a third party is present to help
maintain control of chair. Fig.223
5. Chair Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be conducted on a regular basis: Examine
your Convaid product visually from time to time for possible wear and tear. Teflon spray*
should be applied to frame and moving parts to maintain easy folding and adjustment.
a) Tire Air Pressure: The air pressure in your tires should be checked
WEEKLY, since low air pressure may affect brake ability.
b) Axles and Moving Parts: Axles and moving parts should be wiped off WEEKLY with a slightly
moist cloth, to remove dust, dirt and mud. Sparingly apply a high quality Teflon spray* after each
cleaning. DO NOT USE WD-40, silicone sprays or other lubricant sprays as they will attract dust
and dirt.
c) Repair or replace loose, worn, bent, missing or damaged parts before using the chair!
d) Flat tire: In the event of flat tire, please contact customer service or local dealer for
specific repairing instructions
When transferring user to or from
chair, apply foot wheel locks. Fig.222
