maintenance tips
maintaining your transport chair
Proper care and maintenance is important in order to keep your Transport Chair in good working condition. Be sure that your chair is in proper working condition at all times. A qualified dealer or repair center (wheelchair rental dealer) should be consulted for periodic inspections and repairs.
1. At least once a week, wipe off chrome using a
clean soft cloth. If the chair is exposed to
moisture, dry the chair immediately. The metal
parts of the chair should be polished once a
month with an auto wax.
2. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution,
rinse and wipe dry. Worn or torn upholstery
should be replaced promptly as it may not
support your body weight.
3. Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Correct
any side play by loosening the lock nut on the
axle, then tighten the axle just enough to remove
side play.
4. Solid rubber tires require limited upkeep, but
need to be cleaned periodically with a damp
cloth. Solid rubber tires need to be replaced if
they become cracked or severely worn.

operating tips
how to operate your transport chair:
Your Transport Chair Dealer (Wheelchair rental
Dealer) can assist you in making adjustments and provide you with operational information.
1. To Open the chair, tilt to one side and push
down on seat rails.
2. Lift back support to upright position. The lock
to secure the back will engage automatically.
To fold down and store, pull up on locks
simultaneously, and carefully fold down the back
support.
3. To attach footrests, align the holes on the
footrest arm with the pegs on the frame of the
Transport chair. (See Diagram)
4. To Adjust the length of the footrests, loosen
the bolt (or knob) on the telescoping tube shaft.
Tighten securely after adjustment. The lowest
part of the footrest should not be less than
2 1/2 inches from the ground to permit proper
clearance.
5. To remove the Swing-away footrest, release the
lock. Swing outward and rearward. Simply lift
up and off to remove the footrest.
6. The safety belt is already attached for use and
should not be removed from the Transport Chair.
Note: The Transport Chair should not be operated without the assistance of an attendant.
safety tips
please read carefully before using your transport chair.
1. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage
the dual wheel locks against the tires on both
rear wheels. Make sure the front casters are in
the forward position before transferring into or
out of the chair.
2. Do not move forward on the seat while leaning
forward out of the chair. If it is absolutely
necessary to do so, make sure the front casters
are in the forward position. If you are picking an
object up from the floor, go past the object, and
then go backwards. The casters will then swing
to the forward position.
3. Leaning out of the transport chair without
proper assistance could cause tipping.
4. Do not step on the foot plates when
transferring, as this could cause tipping.
Note: You and your attendant should consult a qualified professional for correct techniques on ramp negotiations.
