Check upholstery
Check upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn spots. Ensure hook and
loop fastener is firmly attached to metal surfaces and backs of pads.
WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery must be replaced immediately.
Clean upholstery and plastic components
Clean upholstery and plastic components at least once a month with a mild soap and water solution.
Check rear wheel adjustment
Inspect the rear wheels at least once a month. Check alignment by elevating the rear of the wheelchair
on a stable object until the rear wheels clear the ground, or placing the wheelchair upside down in a
stable position such that the wheels can spin freely. Spin the wheels; there should be no wobble or
sideplay, and the wheels should spin freely without binding. The bearings should be clean and rotate
smoothly. Check rim sideplay to verify that bearings are not too loose. If there is a problem, contact
your GF authorized distributor. If adjustment is required, this should be done by your distributor only.
Check arms
Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears, or worn spots, and replace if found.
Ensure all attaching screws are present and tight. Use a
7
/
64
hex key to tighten arm pad mounting
screws from underneath.
Check arm and back locking latches
Check arm and back locking latches at least once a month to ensure screws are tight. Tighten with
9
/
64
hex key if needed.
Check legrest and footplate
Check footplate and legrest 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 footplate and legrest
will lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.
CHECK AT LEAST EVERY THREE MONTHS
Clean frame
Clean the frame at least 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 on
the frame. Never use abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the finish. Never use steam or high
pressure cleaners.
Check caster axle and stem rotation
Check the caster axles for proper rotation at least every three months. Ensure the stems are firmly
attached to the forks and that the forks and stems are not bent. The caster axles must turn freely,
and the caster forks must swivel freely, to facilitate steering and handling. Evaluate all threads and
locking nuts. If the caster axles require adjustment, contact your GF authorized distributor.
CHECK AT LEAST EVERY SIX MONTHS
Maintenance check
Have your GF authorized distributor perform a maintenance check at least every six months.
Check caster and rear wheel bearings
Have your GF authorized distributor check caster and rear wheel axle bearings at least every six
months.
