Front Caster Forks:
Verify the forks swivel freely without binding. Check to ensure the casters roll freely by lifting the chair and spinning the castor. The castor
should come to a gradual stop. If the nut is too loose, the castor will flutter or shimmy. If the nut is too tight, the chair will be difficult to steer.
Check the bearings and clean the fork stem housing.
Front Casters And Rear Wheels:
Ensure the castor/wheel axle and nuts are tight. The fork housing and the rear and front wheels are constructed with low maintenance, sealed
bearings to keep dirt out and increase the durability of the chair. Bearings are also protected with an additional bearing spacer component.
Check that the wheels are not warped, cracked or otherwise damaged and the spokes are not broken. Replace as needed. Assure that the
wheels spin freely. Replacement and maintenance of wheel bearings should be completed by a qualified wheelchair technician only.
Front And Rear Tires:
Solid tires require minimal maintenance. They should occasionally be cleaned with a damp cloth. Replace the tires if they become cracked,
excessively worn, or have flat spots.
Recliner (For Models Equipped):
Inspect the reclining mechanisms to ensure they are clean and work freely. Ensure that the stabilizer bar locks securely into place.
