6. MAINTENANCE
6.4 Rear wheels
Adjusting the rear wheels improves the stability of the wheelchair.
»
Ensure the wheels can move freely without touching any part of the wheelchair
frame.
»
Ensure there is no margin on the rear wheels.
6.5 Front wheel and front castor fork
The front wheel and front castor fork should move and turn freely. This ensures a
smooth ride.
Check that the nut of the front fork is not too loose or too tight.
»
If the nut is too loose, the wheels will rotate but the ride will be uncomfortable.
»
If the nut is too tight, the wheelchair will be difficult to steer.
When the nut is correctly in place the front wheel should stop slowly.
If one of the exceptions noted above occurs, or if an adjustment is necessary, contact a
qualified I-GO dealer.
6.6 Upholstery
Check the upholstery of the wheelchair regularly. Torn or worn upholstery will fail to
support the maximum user weight and may lead to injury.
»
Check the textile coating for worn spots and holes.
»
Ensure the upholstery-mounting grommets are aligned and secure.
