Always use parts and/or accessories that have been recommended and approved by
Sunrise Medical when servicing this chair.

C. CLEANING
1.
Paint Finish
a.
Clean the painted surfaces with mild soap or detergent.
b.
Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax.
Axles and Moving Parts
a.
Clean around axles and moving parts with a slightly damp (not wet) cloth.
b.
Wipe off or blow away any fl uff , dust or dirt on axles or moving parts.
c.
DO NOT USE 3-in-ONE oil, or WD-40® for lubrication. Only use Tefl on® based Lubricant
when working on this wheelchair.
D. REAR WHEEL AXLE NUT ADJUSTMENT
The rear wheel axle (B) attaches the rear wheel (D) to the camber plug (C). When the detent balls (E)
engage into the camber plug the rear wheel eff ectively becomes locked onto the chair. Pushing the quick-
release button (A) disengages the detent balls and allows removal of the axle and wheel assembly.
To adjust the axle you will need a
3
/
4
-inch wrench to turn the adjustment nut (F). You will also need a
1
/
2
-inch wrench to securely hold the ball detent end of the axle to prevent it from turning.
If the wheel and axle will not lock into the camber plug then the axle requires adjustment. Turn the nut
counter-clockwise approximately 1/4 revolution and try to lock the axle into the camber plug. If it doesn’t
lock, continue making small nut adjustments until it securely locks.
If the wheel is locked on the chair but there is excessive wheel play (the wheel hub can be pushed back and
forth on the axle) then adjust the nut clockwise until there is no perceptible gap between the wheel and
camber tube and the axle is securely locked onto the chair.
E. ANTI-TIP RECEIVER
Sunrise Medical recommends anti-tip tubes for all wheelchairs.
a. After attaching the Anti-tip receiver (G) make sure that the receiver is parallel with the ground, and
the bolts are tightened so that the anti-tips do not move when used.
b. Make sure that the guide/locking pins are engaged before use.
