8 MAINTENANCE
Protect your E&J
™
Advantage Recliner by having it serviced regularly. Proper care and
maintenance are essential to keep your wheelchair in safe working condition. Periodic inspection,
adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance. When
you believe that a component or part of your Advantage Recliner is not functioning properly,
contact your GF authorized distributor immediately, as a potentially hazardous condition could
result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.
Service manual
There is no service manual for the Advantage Recliner. Please contact your GF authorized
distributor with service questions not answered by this manual.
Info: We recommend that you have a GF authorized distributor perform a six month maintenance
check, as the distributor may find and correct a problem which might otherwise go undetected
and eventually cause more serious problems and / or personal injury.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can do many of the scheduled maintenance tasks yourself, if you have mechanical ability
and a few basic tools. Refer to the maintenance schedule below for the recommended regularity
of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your GF authorized
distributor for assistance.

NOTICE: Improper maintenance can cause operating problems and may affect your
warranty.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings replacement
parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a
hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.
