Suggested Maintenance Procedures
1. Before using your wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace.
Check all parts for proper adjustment.
CAUTION
As with any vehicle, the rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks
and wear, and should be replaced if damaged.
2. The rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced by a
qualified technician if damaged.
NOTE: Tire wear is excessive if:
• Pneumatic Tires ‐ there is missing tread or the tires are bald.
• Urethane Tires ‐ there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims.
• Rubber Tires ‐ 30% or more of the tire has worn away.
NOTE: Invacare recommends that tires and casters be replaced every five years.
3. Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting Patient Operated Wheel Locks on page 36.
4. Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. If loose, have them tightened by a qualified
technician.
5. Periodically check caster wheel bearings to make sure they are clean and free from moisture. Use a Teflon™ lubricant if
necessary.
WARNING
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool
water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions
will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may
result in injury to the user or bystanders.
6. Hand grips should be checked monthly for wear/looseness/deterioration. Clean if desired. Replace if looseness or
deterioration is found.
7. Check upholstery for sagging, rips or tears.
