The EJ777-1 Transport Chair offers several adjustments to make it easier and more
comfortable to operate. Section 7, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive maintenance
suggestions for keeping your transport chair in excellent condition; ensure that all
components are in excellent condition before adjusting. The following are recom-
mended methods; after a few adjustments, you may develop your own. Always con-
sult your Graham-Field Health Products dealer for assistance.
The person performing adjustments on the transport chair has the responsibility of
making certain that the user and attendant can safely operate the transport chair
with the adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight,
physical condition, the environment in which the transport chair will be used, and
the terrain over which the transport chair will travel.
All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index at the end of
this manual. Specific tools needed to perform each adjustment are identified in ad-
justment directions. Most of the following adjustments can be performed with the
wrench included with your EJ777-1 transport chair. The only other tool necessary to
perform all adjustments in this section is one M6 hex key.
REaR WhEEl & CasTER
We recommend that you do not replace or adjust rear wheel or caster components
yourself, since special tools and training are required. Please contact your Graham-
Field Health Products dealer when your rear wheels or casters need adjustment.

Tighten cross braces
Tools required: included wrench, M6 hex key
Check the cross braces to ensure that the bolts and nuts that fasten the cross braces
in the center of the transport chair are secure (cross braces should be loose enough
to fold easily, yet snug enough to take up excess play). Use the included wrench and
an M6 hex key to tighten the cross braces.
