SAFETY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
It is highly recommended that the transport chair be taken to a qualified dealer
annually for a thorough inspection and maintenance / repair service.
GENERAL CARE
Wipe off chrome / aluminum parts at least once per week using a clean, soft cloth.
Dry the transport chair immediately if exposed to moisture.
Do not use abrasive cleanser or materials that will scratch the finish of the transport
chair.
Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution, rinse and wipe dry.
Clean the hand grips with water only and dry thoroughly. Use of soap or ammonia-
based cleaning solutions may loosen the grips.
MONTHLY CHECK LIST / TROUBLESHOOTING
General:
Inspect the entire transport chair for broken parts, sharp edges and loose fasteners.
Ensure that everything works and the transport chair rolls straight without drag and does
not pull to one side. Replace or tighten parts as needed. Inspect for bent frame and
crossbars.
Frame and Crossbraces:
Check that the frame and crossbraces are not bent or dented. Check the tubing for cracks and
rust. If such issues are found, take the transport chair to your local service dealer.
SAFETY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
Upholstery:
Inspect for any rips, tears or worn spots and replace as necessary. Inspect the
upholstery screws and assure that all are present and tight. Torn or worn upholstery
may not support the user’s weight and could result in a fall with serious bodily injury.
Seat back:
Ensure the seat back folding mechanism is functioning properly and the seat back locks
securely in the upright position.
Armrests:
Check for cracks, looseness, or sharp edges.
Hand grips:
Ensure the hand grips are tight and secure on the handles. They should not move or
twist.
Footrests / Legrests:
Ensure the legrest assembly release works properly. Ensure the assembly automatically
locks securely into place when attached and will not accidentally unlock.
