SECTION 5—SAFETY INSPECTION

Safety Inspection Checklists

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and

wear and should be replaced as necessary.

Initial adjustments should be made to suit your personal body structure needs and 
preference. Thereafter follow these maintenance procedures:

Inspect/Adjust Initially

❑ Ensure that the wheelchair rolls straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side).
❑ Ensure that the arms are secure but easy to release and adjustment levers engage 

properly.

❑ Ensure that adjustable height arms operate and lock securely.
❑ Ensure armrest pads sit flush against arm.
❑ Ensure seat is secured to wheelchair frame.
❑ Ensure seat release latch is functional. Replace if necessary.
❑ Clean seat upholstery and armrests.
❑ Ensure wheel mounting nuts are secure on drive wheels.
❑ Ensure no excessive side movement or binding occurs when drive wheels are lifted 

and spun when disengaged (freewheeling).

❑ Inspect caster assembly has proper tension when caster is spun. Caster should come 

to a gradual stop.

❑ Loosen/tighten caster locknut if wheel wobbles noticeably or binds to a stop.
❑ Ensure all caster/wheel/fork/headtube fasteners are secure.
❑ Ensure casters are free of debris.
❑ Inspect tires for flat spots and wear.
❑ Inspect electrical components for signs of corrosion. Replace if corroded or damaged.
❑ Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if necessary.
