VIII MAIntEnAnCE
Protect your Everest Lite 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 perfor-
mance. When you believe that a component or part of your Everest Lite is not function-
ing properly, contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer immediately, as a po-
tentially hazardous condition could result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where
safety is concerned.
service manual
There is no service manual for the Everest Lite. Please contact your Graham-Field Health
Products dealer with service questions not answered by this manual.
Note: Graham-Field Health Products recommends that you have a qualified dealer perform
a six month maintenance check, as the dealer 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 recom-
mended regularity of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you,
ask your Graham-Field Health Products dealer for assistance.
