VI AdjustMEnts
The Everest Lite offers several adjustments to make it easier and more comfortable to
drive. Adjustments are listed by component.
Section VIII, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your
wheelchair 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 methods. Always consult your Graham-Field Health Products
dealer for assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the Everest Lite has the responsibility of making
certain that the user can safely operate the wheelchair with the adjustments selected.
This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment
in which the wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will
travel.
Specific tools needed to perform each adjustment are identified in adjustment sections.
