The motor brushes should be inspected for wear every six months and replaced as needed. This
should be performed by an Everest & Jennings dealer.

Caution: After replacing the brushes, run the wheelchair gently for the first few miles to allow
the brushes to seat properly.
Check bearings
The Metro Power III has bearings only in the caster wheels, not in the rear wheels. Always be alert
for unusual noises in the bearings or excessive caster wobble. These signs indicate that the bearings
are becoming worn and may require replacement. The caster bearings should be inspected every six
months and replaced as needed. This should be performed by an Everest & Jennings dealer.
