Installing / Removing Rear Wheels
Warning:
After changing a rear wheel, check wheel locks for proper adjustment before
use.
Wheel Locks
Check to ensure both locks engage correctly and embed in the tire at least
1/8 inch. If the lock is worn or damaged, it needs to be replaced. Make sure
the locking assembly is securely attached to the frame and the wheel will not
move when the lock is engaged. Make sure the wheel lock does not interfere
with wheel rotation when the lock is not engaged. See wheel lock adjustment
instructions in the General Use section.
MAINTENANCE
Hand grip wheel locks (select models):
Check to ensure the hand grips cause the wheel locks to engage correctly and
embed in the tire at least 1/8 inch. If the lock is worn or damaged, it needs to be
replaced. Make sure both the intermittent and full lock functions work by testing
the hand grips in both the up and down positions. Ensure the transport chair will
not move when the hand lock is engaged. Make sure the wheel lock does not
interfere with wheel rotation when the lock is not engaged. See wheel lock
adjustment instructions in the General Use section.
Cautions
:
Use only Medline Industries, Inc. authorized accessories and parts.
DO NOT modify the transport chair. Examples: drilling holes, grinding, welding
parts, using non-authorized / non-approved parts. Such modifications may change
the transport chair’s structure and center of balance, which may increase the risk
of serious injury to the user and void the warranty.
