Check casters
Check the caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months. The 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 stem nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy; if too
tight, the wheelchair will be difficult to steer. If the caster stems require adjustment, or the stem
bearings require replacement, contact your GF authorized distributor. Ensure that stems are firmly
attached to forks, and that forks and stems are not bent. Evaluate all threads, locking nuts and
bearings.
Check wheel bearings
Have your GF authorized distributor check caster and rear wheel axle bearings at least every six
months.
