Our wheelchair carriers have been designed to be as trouble free as possible for the owner. As with any
mechanical device however, maintenance should be performed regularly while owning and operating
our carriers.
•
WheelChair Carrier recommends that dealers schedule a preventative maintenance inspection at
least once a year on the carrier frame, and all moving parts of the carrier.
•
Regularly check and tighten all hardware on the carrier.
•
Regularly check paint and touch up any bare metal with a good gloss enamel or lacquer to
inhibit rust. WheelChair Carrier recommends checking your carrier frequently if it is subjected
to salt air or road salt for any period of time.
Safety
Caution:
Do not operate the carrier without being satisfactorily instructed in the
proper operation of the carrier by the dealer or without reading and understanding
the operation manual.
•
Our wheelchair carriers have been designed, engineered and tested for years of trouble free
performance. However, with everyday use some parts may become loose or worn. Regularly
inspect your carrier for any worn, loose, or damaged parts. If you find anything upon
inspection, DO NOT USE THE CARRIER! Contact your local dealer or WheelChair Carrier
for any repairs that need to be made. Failure to act may cause severe injury!
•
Our wheelchair carriers must only be used for the loading and unloading of wheelchairs for
which it is designed. DO NOT add to or modify any part of the carrier system without first
contacting the manufacturer of the carrier. Any modifications may void any warranties as well
as compromise the structural integrity of the carrier.
