4 ADJUSTMENTS
The Transport Chair offers several adjustments to make it easier and more comfortable to
operate. Section 6, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your
Transport Chair 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 your own. Always consult your Graham-Field dealer for assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the Transport Chair has the responsibility of making
certain that the user and attendant can safely operate the Transport Chair with the adjust-
ments selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the
environment in which the Transport Chair will be used, and the terrain over which the Trans-
port Chair will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual.
Specific tools needed to perform each adjustment are identified in adjustment directions. Most
of the following adjustments can be performed with the wrench and hex key included with your
Transport Chair.
CASTERS
We recommend that you do not replace or adjust front or rear caster components yourself,
since special tools and training are required. Please contact your Graham-Field dealer when
your casters need adjustment.
CROSSBRACE
Tighten crossbraces
Tools required: included wrench and hex key
Check the crossbraces to ensure that the bolts and nuts that fasten the crossbraces in the cen-
ter of the Transport Chair are secure (crossbraces should be loose enough to fold easily, yet
snug enough to take up excess play). Use the included tools to tighten the crossbraces.
