CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When going up a curb or step, face forward and tilt the chair
back to lift the front wheels over the curb. Move forward and
lift the rear wheels over the curb. The Flyer curb clearance is
2.5” (63.5mm), the curb clearance with the storage basket is
2.2” (64mm). Fig. 145
Maintain control of the chair at all times while going up/down
ramp. Avoid steep slopes, particularly with a heavy occupant. If
in doubt, do not proceed unless a third party is present to help
maintain control of chair. Fig. 147
User Maintenance
The following maintenance procedures should be conducted on a regular basis: examine your Convaid
product visually from time to time for possible wear and tear. Teon™ spray* should be applied to
frame and moving parts to maintain easy folding and adjustment.
a) Axles and Moving Parts: Axles and moving parts should be wiped off weekly with a slightly moist
cloth, to remove dust, dirt and mud. Sparingly apply a high quality Teon™ spray* after each cleaning.
b) Do not use WD-40, silicone sprays or other lubricant sprays as they will attract dust and dirt.
c) Repair or replace loose, worn, bent, missing or damaged parts before using the chair!
When going down a curb, approach the curb backwards. Lower
the rear wheels down the curb and continue backwards, taking
the weight off the front wheels so they can be gently lowered.
