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. If equipped with 
heel loops, ensure the anchor bolts are tight and secure.

Cleaning your Traveler LX

Wipe off the 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 fork 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 the nut 
is too tight, the wheelchair will be difficult to steer. If the caster stem 
requires 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.
