maintenance tips
maintaining your transport chair
Proper care and maintenance is important in order
to keep your Transport Chair in good working con-
dition. Be sure that your chair is in proper working
condition at all times. A qualified dealer or repair
center (wheelchair rental dealer) should be con-
sulted for periodic inspections and repairs.
1. At least once a week, wipe off chrome using a
clean soft cloth. If the chair is exposed to moisture,
dry the chair immediately. The metal parts of the
chair should be polished once a month with an auto
wax.
2. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution,
rinse and wipe dry. Worn or torn upholstery should
be replaced promptly as it may not support your
body weight.
3. Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Correct
any side play by loosening the lock nut on the axle,
then tighten the axle just enough to remove side
play.
4. Solid rubber tires require limited upkeep, but
need to be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth.
Solid rubber tires need to be replaced if they
become cracked or severely worn.

safety tips
1. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the
dual wheel locks against the tires on both rear
wheels. Make sure the front casters are in the
forward position before transferring into or out of
the chair.
2. Always fasten the safety belt when the
transport chair is in motion.
3. Do not move forward on the seat while leaning
forward out of the chair. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so, make sure the front
casters are in the forward position. If you are
picking an object up from the floor, go past the
object, and then go backwards. The
casters will then swing to the forward position.
4. Leaning out of the transport chair without
proper assistance could cause tipping.
5. Do not step on the foot plates when
transferring, as this could cause tipping.
Note: You and your aendant should consult a
qualified professional for correct techniques on
ramp negotiations.
5. To remove the Swing-away footrest, release the
lock. Swing outward and rearward. Simply li up
and off to remove the footrest.

should not be removed from the Transport Chair.
