CHAIR MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INSPECTION
“Uni-Mold” Mag Composite Wheels-
Our exclusive wheel design is high strength, low
maintenance, and lightweight. One piece molded construction guarantees superior rollability and
performance. Outlasts conventional tires by up to three times. Periodically examine tires for wear.
Worn tires will make your wheelchair difficult to propel. Both wheels should be replaced at the same
time to prevent chair from pulling to one side
8” Casters-
Wheel is secured to the caster fork by an axle bolt and nut. To adjust, rotate bolt and
lock with nut. Wheel should be snug but free spinning. If the caster flutters, remove the caster cap.
Adjust the lock nut located under the caster cap. Take-up all play. Back-off about ¼ turn. Replace
caster cap.
24” Wheels-
Adjust loose or wobbly wheels. First remove hub cap. Remove all dirt and lint from
outside of bearings. Loosen axle locknut. Tighten axle bolt until all wobble is eliminated. Back off
about 1/4 turn. Retighten locknut. Tilt the wheel chair to one side and spin the wheel. If it stops
abruptly, it is too tight. Readjust the axle bolt. Replace hub cap.
Seat and Back-
Only
premium grade polypropylene is used. Replace immediately if material is
cracked or mounting holes are stripped. To ensure uniform appearance, both seat and back should
be replaced together.
Cleaning and Polishing-
All components may be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent.
Wipe dry immediately with a soft clean cloth.
