CHECK UPHOLSTERY

Check upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn spots. Ensure that 
all upholstery-attaching screws are present, properly aligned, and well-secured. Use a Phillips 
screwdriver to tighten upholstery mounting screws. Check attaching screws for sharp edges or 
stripped screws, and replace if found.

  WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery, or upholstery with loose hardware, must be replaced 

immediately. It may not support body weight.

CHECK REAR WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

Inspect the 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 Graham-Field authorized distributor. If adjustment is required, this 
should be done by your Graham-Field authorized distributor only.

CHECK ARMS

Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for sharp edges or cracks which could weaken the arm, 
and replace if found. Ensure all attaching screws are present and tight. Use a Phillips screwdriver 
to tighten armpad mounting screws. Check for burrs on the screw heads and replace if found. 
Ensure that screws do not extend into the padding. Confirm that the posts at base of arm fit 
correctly in the sockets, snug but not binding.

CHECK BACKPOSTS / PUSH HANDLES

Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure that all mounting hardware is securely fastened 
and that the backposts are not bent or damaged. Contact your authorized distributor if you 
observe cracking or peeling paint or plating.

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 REGENCY 450 / 525

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.
