Check footrests
Check footrests at least once a month. Inspect the locking mechanisms to confirm sure fit.
Check for cracks, burrs, or sharp edges, and replace if found. Ensure that the footrest will auto-
matically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.
Cleaning your Transport Chair
Wipe off frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry the Transport Chair
immediately if exposed to moisture. Clean the frame every three months with a mild soap and
water solution. The frame does not need to be waxed. Do not use solvents, abrasive waxes,
caustic chemicals or spray silicone. Never use abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the fin-
ish. Never use steam or high pressure cleaners. Clean upholstery and plastic components at
least once a month with a mild soap and water solution.
Check front caster stems
Check front caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months. Front caster forks
must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling. Adjusting the stem nut varies the amount
of force required to turn the caster. If the nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy;
if the nut is too tight, the Transport Chair will be difficult to steer. If the front caster stems
requires adjustment, or any caster bearings require replacement, contact your Graham-Field
dealer. Ensure that stems are firmly attached to forks, and that forks and stems are not bent.
Evaluate all threads, locking nuts and bearings.
Check caster bearings
Have your Graham-Field dealer check front and rear caster bearings at least every six months.
