V. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
A. Maintenance Table
Regular and routine maintenance will extend the life of your wheelchair while improving its
performance. Wheelchair repairs, the replacement of parts and any maintenance check that you
are not comfortable performing should be done by an authorized supplier. Only use Ki Mobility
approved parts when replacing components.
CAUTION: Do not use petroleum-based solvents, degreasers or dewatering agents (includ -
ing but not limited to automotive cleaners, alcohols or WD-40). Damage to components,
bearings or finishes may occur.
Check Weekly Monthly Annually
Check the tire inflation levels and inflate as needed. The correct
inflation levels are found on the tire.
√
Check wheel lock engagement and disengagement. Tire pressure
changes and tire wear will require the wheel locks to be adjusted.
Wheel lock adjustment instructions can be found in the Wheel Locks
section of this manual.
√
Check the axle plate and spacers (if present) to ensure there are no
deformities, cracks or bending.
√
Check that quick release axles engage and disengage properly. √
Check that caster wheels, anti-tip wheels and rear wheels spin freely.
Cleaning or replacement parts may be needed if there are any issues.
√
Clean area around the caster housing and bearings. This is a
common location for hair build up.

Clean your wheelchair. See the Cleaning section in this manual for
instructions.
√
Check the rear tires, anti-tip wheels and the caster wheels for wear
spots or damage. Replace immediately if needed.

Check handrims to ensure they are secure and not damaged. √
Check that the hand grips do not rotate or pull off. Replace if needed. √
Check armrest receivers for loose or missing fasteners and check
they are secure, adjusted properly and maintain position.
√
Check that anti-tips are level and functional. √
Inspect the frame(s) and anti-tips for deformities, defects, cracks,
dimples or bends. These could be signs of fatigue in the wheelchair
which could result in a failure. Discontinue use of the wheelchair
immediately and contact an authorized supplier.
√
Check upholstery for signs of wear, fraying or holes. Replace
upholstery immediately if needed.

Check arm pads, cushions and back rest for damage, rips or tears. √

at your authorized supplier.
