Check tire wear
Examine tires at least once a week for surface wear and cracks and
replace them as needed. Replace polyurethane tires when they become
loose on the rims or cracks appear.
Check handrims
Check handrims at least once a week. Inspect each handrim for rough or
sharp edges and, if any are found, replace handrims immediately. Ensure
that all hardware is properly aligned and secure.
Check wheel lock engagement
Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. See
Adjust wheel
locks
in Section 5 to adjust wheel lock engagement. If a wheel lock
is worn or damaged, replace it immediately. Inspect the hardware for
looseness or signs of wear.
Ensure the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking assembly
should be tight enough so that the wheel can not rotate or the lock slip.
Check that the locking shoe does not press against the tire when in
the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be required to either
engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock pivot points with one or
two drops of 30 weight oil. Remove excess oil and dirt.
Check anti-tippers (optional)
Check the anti-tippers at least once a week. Ensure the anti-tippers are
securely fastened and properly positioned.
WARNING: When in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the
downward position.
Check handgrips
Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure they are not ripped; ensure
they are tight and securely fastened.
