8.3
The crossframe
The cross frame is the basis of your wheelchair. Therefore, the cross frame should be in good condition. Check the
cross frame in the following points:
•
Make sure the wheelchair can easily be folded and unfolded;
•
Make sure the wheelchair travels in a straight line while moving;
•
Make sure the cross frame is not bent and shows no signs of wear.
When any of the above points show abnormalities, please contact the dealer where you bought the wheelchair.
Only your dealer may make any repairs to the cross frame.
8.4
The rear wheels
You can also check the rear wheels yourself. Proper adjustment of the rear wheels increases stability. Also, it makes
the chair easier to manoeuvre. Use the steps below to check the rear wheels on the following:
•
Make sure that the wheels can move freely without touching anything;
•
Make sure there is no play on the rear wheel bearings. If this is the case, this is often that the housing of the
rear wheels is loose.
When any of the above points show abnormalities, please contact the dealer where you bought the wheelchair.
Only your dealer may make any repairs to the rear wheels.
8.5
The castors and front fork
The castors at the front of the wheelchair, and the front fork that the castors are attached to must move smoothly
and freely to enable you to steer your wheelchair. Check the castors and the front fork for the following points:
•
Make sure the nut of the front fork is neither too lose or too tight. When the nut is too loose, the wheels will
rotate but the ride will be uncomfortable. If the nut is too tight, the chair will be difficult to steer because of
the bearings getting pushed so the balls cannot move freely. When the nut is correct in place the front wheel
will stop slowly;
•
Make sure the front castor shows no wear signs.
When any of the above points show abnormalities, please contact the dealer where you bought the wheelchair.
Only your dealer may make any repairs to the castors or the front fork.
Tip
Make sure the nut is securely fastened through the castor to the fork. You can check this by spinning the castor.
The castor must stop slowly.
