Check footrests & elevating legrests
Check footrests and legrests at least once a month. Inspect the
locking mechanisms to confirm sure fit. Check for cracks, burrs, or
sharp edges, and replace if found. Ensure that the footrest or legrest
will automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally
unlock.
Cleaning your Paramount XD
Wipe off base and seat frame frequently, at least once a week, using
a soft cloth. Dry the wheelchair immediately if exposed to moisture.
Clean the frame every three months with a mild soap and water
solution. The frame does not need to be waxed. Do not use solvents,
abrasive waxes, caustic chemicals or spray silicone. Never use
abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the finish. Never use steam or
high pressure cleaners. Clean upholstery and plastic components at
least once a month with a mild soap and water solution.
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 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 Graham-Field 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 Graham-Field authorized distributor check caster and rear
wheel axle bearings at least every six months.
