„ Check the handrims. Make sure that they are fastened securely to the wheels.
„ Check the wheel locks. Make sure they work properly. If they don’t, instructions on how to adjust them are
provided in this manual.
WARNING! The wheel locks are designed to keep your chair stationary while you are parked. They
are not designed to stop the wheelchair during driving. Do not use either of the wheel locks to
stop the wheelchair while driving it. This can cause your wheelchair to become unstable and tip.
Weekly Checks
„ Check for proper tire inflation. Pneumatic tires should be inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating
indicated on the tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your Quantum Rehab Provider for replacement of the tube.
„ Check the anti-tip wheels for wear or damage. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for replacement or repair.
Monthly Checks
„ Check for drive tire wear. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
„ Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
„ Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the
bearings replaced. See your Quantum Rehab Provider for repair.
„ Keep your wheelchair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.
Yearly Checks
Take your wheelchair to your Quantum Rehab Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your wheel-
chair on a daily basis. This helps ensure that your wheelchair is functioning properly and helps prevent future
complications.
Storage
Your wheelchair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes.
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust.
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your wheelchair to raise it off of the ground during
periods of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing
on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
Disposal of Your Wheelchair
Your wheelchair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact
your local waste disposal agency or Quantum Rehab Provider for information on proper disposal of wheelchair
packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane materials.
Cleaning and Disinfection
„ Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your wheelchair.
Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your wheelchair.
„ If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or wheelchair finishes.
WARNING! Never hose off your wheelchair or place it in direct contact with water. Your
wheelchair has a painted finish that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
