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. Conrm that the posts at base of arm t correctly in the sockets, snug
but not binding.
Check backposts / push handles
Check backposts at least once a month. Ensure that all mounting hardware is secure-
ly fastened and that the backposts are not bent or damaged. Ensure that upper back
folding mechanisms are secure, work correctly, and that there is no play in upper
back fold points. Contact your dealer if you observe back play, cracking or peeling
paint or plating.
Check footrests
Check footrests at least once a month. Inspect the locking mechanisms to conrm
sure t. Check for cracks, burrs, or sharp edges, and replace if found. Ensure that the
footrest will automatically lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.
Cleaning your transport chair
Wipe off base and seat frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry
the transport chair 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 nish. 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
fork must swivel freely to facilitate steering and handling. Adjusting the stem nut var-
ies the amount of force required to turn the caster. If the nut is too loose, the caster
will utter or shimmy; if the nut is too tight, the transport chair will be difcult to
steer. If the caster stem requires adjustment, or the stem bearings require replace-
ment, contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer. Ensure that stems are rmly
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 Health Products dealer check caster and rear wheel axle
bearings at least every six months.
