4 ADJUSTMENTS
The Transport Chair offers several adjustments to make it easier and more comfortable to
operate. Section 6, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance suggestions for keeping your
Transport Chair in excellent condition; ensure that all components are in excellent condition
before adjusting. The following are recommended methods; after a few adjustments, you may
develop your own. Always consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the Transport Chair has the responsibility of
making certain that the user and attendant can safely operate the Transport Chair with the
adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the user’s ability, weight, physical condition,
the environment in which the Transport Chair will be used, and the terrain over which the
Transport Chair will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of this manual.
Specic tools needed to perform each adjustment are identied in adjustment directions. Most
of the following adjustments can be performed with the wrench and hex key included with your
Transport Chair.
CASTERS
We recommend that you do not replace or adjust front or rear caster components yourself,
since special tools and training are required. Please contact your Graham-Field authorized
distributor when your casters need adjustment.
CROSSBRACE
Tighten crossbraces
Tools required: included wrench and hex key
Check the crossbraces to ensure that the bolts and nuts that fasten the crossbraces in the
center of the Transport Chair are secure (crossbraces should be loose enough to fold easily,
yet snug enough to take up excess play). Use the included tools to tighten the crossbraces.
