dealer with any questions or concerns regarding the safe operation 
and maintenance of your wheelchair. Regular maintenance is essen-
tial for your safety and continued operation of your wheelchair.
check tire wear
Examine tires at least once a week for surface wear and cracks and 
replace them as needed. Replace solid rubber tires when they become 
loose on the rims or cracks appear.
check handrims
Check handrims at least once a week. Inspect each handrim for 
rough or sharp edges and, if any are found, replace handrims imme-
diately. Ensure that all hardware is properly aligned and secure.
check wheel lock engagement
Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. See Adjust
wheel locks
 in Section 5 to adjust wheel lock engagement. If a wheel 
lock is worn or damaged, replace it immediately. Inspect the hard-
ware for looseness or signs of wear.
Ensure that the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking 
assembly should be tight enough so that the wheel can not rotate or 
the lock slip. Check that the locking shoe does not press against the 
tire when in the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be 
required to either engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock 
pivot points with one or two drops of 30 weight oil. Remove excess oil 
and dirt.
check anti-tippers (optional)
Check the anti-tippers at least once a week. Ensure that the anti-tip-
pers are securely fastened and properly positioned.
check handgrips
Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not 
ripped; ensure that they are tight and securely fastened.
