- Maintenance tips:
- 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 - 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 - 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 - 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:
- 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 - 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 - Leaning out of the transport chair without proper assistance could cause tipping - Do not step on the foot plates when transferring, as this could cause tipping
