Wipe off the frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth.
Dry the wheelchair immediately if exposed to moisture. Clean the frame
every three months with a mild soap and water solution. The frame
does not need to be waxed. Do not use solvents, abrasive waxes, caustic
chemicals or spray silicone. Never use abrasive cleansers; they could
scratch the finish. Never use steam or high pressure cleaners. Clean
upholstery and plastic components at least once a month with a mild soap
and water solution.
Checkcasters
Check the caster stems for proper rotation at least every three months.
The caster forks must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling.
Adjusting the stem nut varies the amount of force required to turn the
caster. If the stem nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy; if
too tight, the wheelchair will be difficult to steer. If the caster stems
require adjustment, or the stem bearings require replacement, contact
your Graham-Field authorized distributor. Ensure that stems are firmly
attached to forks, and that forks and stems are not bent. Evaluate all
threads, locking nuts and bearings.
Checkwheelbearings
Have your Graham-Field authorized distributor check caster and rear
wheel axle bearings at least every six months.
