Additional Info

BENEFITS

• Superior Durability: Reinforced carbon-steel frame and gussets withstand daily transfers and weight fluctuations, ensuring long-term reliability.

• Professional Appearance: Triple-coated chrome finish remains chip-free, providing a clean, polished look in clinical and home environments.

USAGE GUIDELINES

• Inspect Before Use: Verify that casters roll freely, frame bolts are tight, and upholstery shows no tears. Ensure legrests and arms are securely attached.
• Position Desk Arms: Swap between standard and desk-arm mode by lifting padded arms or removing them entirely for lateral transfers.
• Safe Transfers: Lock rear wheels by pushing down on the wheel locks. Encourage users to pivot feet in and out of the chair before moving.
• Maneuvering: Push the wheelchair slightly back to test caster response, then roll forward at a moderate speed to maintain control on smooth surfaces.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Upholstery Cleaning: Wipe naugahyde seat and backrest weekly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may dull the finish.
• Frame Maintenance: Inspect chrome finish monthly for chips or rust spots. Touch up minor imperfections with a clear, protective vinyl coating to prevent corrosion.
• Caster and Wheel Care: Remove debris from front casters and rear mag-style wheels weekly. If movement feels stiff, clean axle housings, then rotate wheels manually to confirm smooth bearings.
• Legrest & Armrest Check: Ensure knobs and hinges remain tight. Apply a light silicone lubricant to pivot points every three months to prevent squeaking.
• Storage: Store in a dry, indoor environment away from excessive heat or moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain upholstery integrity.
