7.3 Cross frame
The cross frame of the wheelchair has to be in a good condition. The cross frame is
the basic of your wheelchair.
Make sure the wheelchair can easily be fold and unfold;
Make sure the wheelchair travels in a straight line while moving;
Make sure the cross frame is not bent and shows no wear signs.
When one of the exceptions, noted above, occurs, please contact a qualified Van Os
Medical UK Ltd. dealer.

A good adjustment of the rear wheels improves the stability of the wheelchair. Also
it will allow you to use less energy to move the wheelchair.
Make sure that the wheels can move freely without touching anything;
Make sure there is no margin on the rear wheels.
When one of the exceptions, noted above, occurs or if an adjustment is necessary it
is recommended to do this through a qualified Van Os Medical UK Ltd. dealer.
7.5 Front wheel and front castor fork
The front wheel and front fork must move and turn freely to ensure a smooth ride.
Make sure the nut of the front fork is not too loose or too tight. When the nut is
too loose, the wheels will rotate but the ride will be uncomfortable. If the nut
is too tight, the chair will be difficult to steer because of the bearings getting
pushed so the balls can not move freely. When the nut is correct in place the
front wheel will stop slowly;
Make sure the front castor shows no wear signs.
When one of the exceptions, noted above, occurs or if an adjustment is necessary it
is recommended to do this through a qualified Van Os Medical UK Ltd. dealer.
7.6 Upholstery
It is important to check the lining of your wheelchair regularly. Torn or worn
upholstery can no longer support human weight and this can create dangerous
situations.
Check the textile coating for holes, cracks and worn spots;
Check the upholstery-mounting grommets to make sure that they are all
correctly aligned and secure.
