| Use and Safety
WHEEL LOCKS - Engage both wheel locks before
getting in or out of chair, leaning forward in chair, or
while in an elevator or wheelchair lift. Proper adjust-
ment of wheel lock is at least 1/8” when locked.
Locks are engaged by pushing handle completely
forward. Adjustments to locks are made by loosen-
ing or tightening nut on the carriage bolt. Embed
lock shoe at least 1/8” by sliding clamp toward rear
wheel while handle is engaged in locked position.
Tighten nut and bolt to secure in position. Test for
correct locking action before actual use.
TIRES - Solid rubber tires need minimal mainte-
nance, but should be cleaned occasionally with a
damp cloth. Replace if tires become severely worn
or cracking appears.
FRONT CASTERS - Casters should be checked
periodically and lubricated occasionally. Lubricate
by removing fork and greasing caster stem bearings.
Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel from
fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by tightening nuts
until no play remains, but wheels roll freely. If nut is
too loose, caster will shimmy, if too tight, chair will
be hard to steer.
