Check upholstery
Check upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and
worn spots. Ensure that all upholstery-attaching screws are pres-
ent, properly aligned, and well-secured. Use a Phillips screwdriver
to tighten upholstery mounting screws. Check attaching screws for
sharp edges or stripped screws, and replace if found.
WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery, or upholstery with loose
hardware, must be replaced immediately. It may
not support body weight.
Check rear wheel adjustment
Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Check alignment by elevat-
ing 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 Health Products dealer. If
adjustment is required, this should be done by your Graham-Field
Health Products dealer 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 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. 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 that all mounting
hardware is securely fastened and that the backposts are not bent
or damaged. Contact your dealer if you observe cracking or peeling
paint or plating.
