7  MAINTENANCE

Protect your E&J Paramount XD 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 
Paramount XD is not functioning properly, contact your Graham-Field 
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 Paramount XD. Please contact 
your Graham-Field authorized distributor with service questions not 
answered by this manual.

Info: We recommend that you have a Graham-Field 
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 on the next page for the recommended 
regularity of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is 
not clear to you, ask your Graham-Field authorized distributor for 
assistance.

s

  NOTICE: Improper maintenance can cause operating 

problem 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.
