General Care
Wipe all metal parts at least once a week using a soft cloth. Dry chair immediately if it is exposed to moisture. Abrasive
cleaners or materials will scratch the surface of the chair.
Tires
Minimal maintenance is required for rubber tires. Wipe with a damp cloth occasionally. If tires become cracked or worn,
replace immediately.
Front Casters
Inspect casters periodically and lubricate them when necessary. To lubricate, remove the fork and grease the caster
bearings. Remove the wheel from the fork and grease the wheel bearings. The wheel and fork can be reassembled by
tightening the nuts until there is no play remaining, but the wheel rolls freely. The fork will revolve freely when adjusted
correctly. The caster will utter if the nut is too loose or be difficult to steer if the nut is too tight.
Wheels
Inspect monthly for correct tightness. If the wheel seems to be loose or wobbly, release the lock nut and tighten the axle
bolt. Lean chair to one side and spin adjusted wheel to check for correct adjustments.
Wheel Locks
Wheel locks should be checked for correct locking action before actual use. Pushing the handle completely forward
activates the wheel locks. If the wheel locks are working correctly they will be embedded into the tire at least 1/8". To
adjust wheel locks, loosen nut on carriage bolt. Slide clamp toward rear wheel until lock shoe is embedded at least 1/8"
into rear tire when lock handle is engaged. Tighten nut to secure into position.
