9 MAINTENANCE
Protect your E&J PureTilt by having it serviced regularly. Proper care and maintenance are
essential to keep your wheelchair in safe working condition. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance. When you believe
that a component or part of your PureTilt is not functioning properly, contact your GF authorized
distributor immediately, as a potentially hazardous condition could result. Only excellent
condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.
SERVICE MANUAL
There is no service manual for the PureTilt. Please contact your GF authorized distributor
with questions not answered by this manual. A PureTilt parts catalog is available at
www.grahamfield.com to assist in the ordering of parts.
Info: We recommend that you have a GF authorized distributor perform a six month maintenance
check, as the distributor may find and correct a problem which might otherwise go undetected
and eventually cause more serious problems and/or personal injury.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
You can do many of the scheduled maintenance tasks yourself, if you have mechanical ability and
a few basic tools. Refer to the following maintenance schedule for the recommended regularity
of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your GF authorized
distributor for assistance.
