Care and Maintenance

General Care

Wipe off all metal parts at least once a week using a soft cloth. Dry

chair immediately if it is exposed to moisture. Abrasive cleaners or

materials will scratch the surface of the chair.

Tires

Minimal maintenance is required for rubber tires. Wipe with a damp

cloth occasionally. If tires become cracked or worn, replace immedi-

ately.

Front Casters

Inspect casters periodically and lubricate them when necessary. To

lubricate, remove the fork and grease the caster bearings. Remove the

wheel from the fork and grease the wheel bearings. The wheel and

fork can be reassembled by tightening the nuts until there is no play

remaining, but the wheel rolls freely. The fork will revolve freely when

adjusted correctly. The caster will flutter if the nut is too loose or be

difficult to steer if the nut is too tight.

Wheels

Inspect monthly for correct tightness. If the wheel seems to be loose

or wobbly, release the lock nut and tighten the axle bolt. Lean chair to

one side and spin adjusted wheel to check for correct adjustments.

Wheel Locks

Wheel locks should be checked for correct locking action before actu-

al use. Pushing the handle completely forward activates the wheel

locks. If the wheel locks are working correctly they will be embedded

into the tire at least 1/8". To adjust wheel locks, loosen nut on carriage

bolt. Slide clamp toward rear wheel until lock shoe is embedded at

least 1/8" into rear tire when lock handle is engaged. Tighten nut to

secure into position.
