User/Attendant Inspection Checklists
Every six months, and as necessary, take your wheelchair to
a qualified technician for a thorough inspection and servicing.
Weekly, monthly, and periodic inspections should be
performed by user/attendant between the six month service
inspections.
Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance
the smooth operation of your wheelchair. To operate
