General Maintenance 

 

 

It is strongly recommended that the following checks be carried out on a weekly basis by facility 

personnel to ensure trouble free operation of the MR4500 folding portering chair. 

 

 

 

Check that the portering chair runs straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side). 

 

 

Ensure that there is no excessive side movement of rear wheels when the portering chair is 

lifted and wheels spun. 

 

 

Inspect seat and back upholstery for sagging, cracking and any other obvious signs of  

damage or contamination.  Report any damage. 

 

 

Inspect hand grips for wear, looseness and / or deterioration. 

 

 

Inspect for any broken or loose parts. 

 

 

Inspect for damage to tyre and wheels generally.  Remove any debris that may have        

become caught in the brake and around the axle, this is a common occurrence, and can 

lead to a shortened life expectancy of the castors if left unattended. 

 

 

Check for correct operation of brakes. 

 

 

Check castors for free movement and rotation, remove any debris caught in castor. 

 

 

Check armrest for correct operation and damage to padded section. 

 

 

Check operation of footrest including possible damage to heel straps.
