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 authorized distributor. If adjustment is required, this
should be done by your Graham-Field authorized distributor 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 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 all mounting hardware
is securely fastened and the backposts are not bent or damaged. Contact
your authorized distributor if you observe cracking or peeling paint or
plating.
Checkelevatinglegrests
Check elevating legrests at least once a month. Inspect the locking
mechanisms to confirm sure fit. Check for cracks, burrs, or sharp edges,
and replace if found. Ensure that the legrest will automatically lock
securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.
