Checkwheellockengagement
Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. See Adjust wheel
locks in Section 5 to adjust wheel lock engagement. If a wheel lock
is worn or damaged, replace it immediately. Inspect the hardware for
looseness or signs of wear.
Ensure that the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking
assembly should be tight enough so that the wheel can not rotate or the
lock slip. Check that the locking shoe does not press against the tire
when in the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be required to
either engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock pivot points with
one or two drops of 30 weight oil. Remove excess oil and dirt.
Checkanti-tippers
Check the anti-tippers at least once a week. Ensure the anti-tippers are
securely fastened and properly positioned.
WARNING: Anti-tippers must be installed in the downward
position.
Checkhandgrips
Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not ripped;
ensure that they are tight and securely fastened.
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
upholstery 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.
