MAINTAININGYOURPOLYFLY
WHEELCHAIR/TRANSPORTCHAIR
Proper care and maintenance is important in order
to keep your Wheelchair/Transport Chair in good
working condition. Be sure that your chair is in proper
working condition at all times. A qualified dealer or
repair center (wheelchair rental dealer) should be
consulted 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.

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. 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.
3. Leaning out of the transport chair without proper
assistance could cause tipping.
4. Do not step on the footplates when transferring, as
this could cause tipping.
NOTE: You and your attendant should consult a
qualified professional for correct techniques on ramp
negotiations.
It is important for the attendant to be familiar with
proper assisting procedures in any situation that
requires the use of the Poly-fly Wheelchair/Transport
Chair. Safety is the key consideration. Consult your
physician, nurse of physical therapist to determine
methods most suitable for your individual needs and
abilities.

not conform to Federal Standards for automobile
seating and should not be used as a seat in a motor
vehicle.
