USE AND SAFETY
WHEEL LOCKS
Engage both wheel locks before getting in or out of
chair, leaning forward in chair, or while in an elevator or
wheelchair lift. Proper adjustment of wheel lock is at least
1/8” when locked. Locks are engaged by pushing handle
completely forward. Adjustments to locks are made by
loosening or tightening nut on the carriage bolt. Embed lock
shoe at least 1/8” by sliding clamp toward rear wheel while
handle is engaged in locked position. Tighten nut and bolt
to secure in position. Test for correct locking action before
actual use.
TIRES
Solid rubber tires need minimal maintenance, but should
be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Replace if tires
become severely worn or cracking appears.
FRONT CASTERS
Casters should be checked periodically and lubricated
occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and greasing caster
stem bearings. Lubricate wheel bearings by removing wheel
from fork. Reassemble fork and wheel by tightening nuts
until no play remains, but wheels roll freely. If nut is too
loose, caster will shimmy, if too tight, chair will be hard to
steer.
REMOVAL OF SWING-AWAY FOOT RESTS/LEG RESTS
Release lock by pushing on the front rigging lever. Swing-
away foot rest /leg rest out and sideways. Lift to remove.
ADJUSTING LENGTH OF FOOTREST/LEG REST
When adjusting length of foot rests or leg rests, user should
be sitting in wheelchair with feet on the foot plates. Loosen
bolt on the clamp around support assembly. Raise or lower
foot plate to desired position that will provide maximum
support of thighs. Front rigging should not be so low that
it causes uncomfortable pressure to thighs at front of seat
upholstery. Footrest should not be lower than 2-1/2” from
the ground to ensure clearance.
ADJUSTING/ELEVATING LEG REST
Lift foot plate on leg rest assembly to desired position.
Release leg rest assembly and it will automatically lock
into place. To lower, push out on leg rest lever and lower
foot plate to desired position.
WHEELS
Large rear wheels should be inspected at least once a
month to ensure proper tightness. If wheel wobbles or is
loose, release lock nut and tighten axle bolt slightly. Test
for proper tightness by learning chair to one side and spin
adjusted wheel.
GENERAL CARE

a week. All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or
similar poducts. If exposed to moisture, dry immediately.
Do not use an abrasive cleanser that will scratch the
finish.

and use safety restraints available.
Do not operate this wheelchair on roadways, streets or any
surfaces with vehicular traffic.
Do not attempt to operate on inclines 10% or greater
without proper assistance.
Be sure to completely engage wheel locks when getting in

that shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never
reach so far that you have to shift in the seat or
bend over out of the chair. When you have to reach
for objects that require you to lean, be certain front
casters are pointing in a forward position that extends
the wheel base and will stabilize the chair.
RAMPS
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and
strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct
techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown
to you by a qualified professional. Assistance is
recommended when going up or down inclines
greater than 10o. If you must stop on an incline,
avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume
movement. Because of backward angle of the chair,
sudden abrupt movement could cause instability.
Attempting to use the wheel lock brakes could result
in accidental locking, tipping to one side, or cause
a sudden stop. Avoid changing direction when going
down an incline, as this could result in instability of
tipping over.
