List of tools and supplies
e tools and cleaning supplies listed will assist in the procedures outlined in Section VIII.
Soft cloth
Mild soap and water solution
General care
Always evaluate the overall operation of your wheelchair. It should function with ease and should travel
straight without excessive drag or pull to one side.
Remember, your qualified Graham-Field Health Products dealer knows your wheelchair best when it
comes to service and repairs. Contact your dealer with any questions or concerns regarding the safe
operation and maintenance of your wheelchair. Regular maintenance is important for your safety and
continued operation of your wheelchair.
Charge batteries
Charge the batteries daily. See Section VII, BATTERIES, Charging the batteries.
Check joystick
Check the hand control joystick daily. Turn wheelchair power off. Check that the joystick is not bent
or damaged, and that it returns to center when you release it. If there is a problem, do not operate the
wheelchair. Contact your dealer.
Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage or splitting. A visual check is suffi-
cient—do not handle the boot. If there is a problem, contact your dealer.
ere are no serviceable parts in the controller or hand control. If you have problems with these compo-
nents, see Section IX, TROUBLESHOOTING; if you are unable to resolve them, contact your Gra-
ham-Field Health Products dealer.
Check cables and connections
Inspect all control system plug connectors visually at least once a week to be sure that they are securely
fastened. Cable connections for both front wheel drive and rear wheel drive wheelchairs are shown on
the following pages.
