Check upholstery
Check upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn
spots. Ensure that all upholstery-attaching screws are present, properly
aligned, and well-secured. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten up-
holstery mounting screws. Check attaching screws for sharp edges or
stripped screws, and replace if found.
WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery, or upholstery with loose
hardware, must be replaced immediately. It may not support
body weight.
Check rear wheel adjustment
Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Check alignment by elevating
the rear of the wheelchair on a stable object until the rear wheels clear
the ground, or placing the wheelchair upside down in a stable position
such that the wheels can spin freely. Spin the wheels; there should be no
wobble or sideplay, and the wheels should spin freely without binding.
The bearings should be clean and rotate smoothly. Check rim sideplay to
verify that bearings are not too loose. If there is a problem, contact your
Graham-Field dealer. If adjustment is required, this should be done by
your Graham-Field dealer only.
Check arms
Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for sharp edges or cracks
which could weaken the arm, and replace if found. Ensure that all
attaching screws are present and tight. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
tighten arm pad mounting screws. Check for burrs on the screw heads
and replace if found. Ensure that screws do not extend into the padding.
Confirm that the posts at base of arm fit correctly in the sockets, snug but
not binding.
Check backposts / push handles
Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure that all mounting hard-
ware is securely fastened and that the backposts are not bent or dam-
aged. Contact your dealer if you observe cracking or peeling paint or
plating.
