C. MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Axles & Axle Receivers:
Check axles and axle sleeves every six months to make sure they are tight.
Loose sleeves will damage the axle plate and will affect performance.
2. Tire Air Pressure:
Check air pressure in pneumatic tires at least ONCE A WEEK. The wheel
locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air pressure shown on
tire sidewall.
D. CLEANING
1. Paint Finish
a. Clean the paint finish with mild soap at least once a month.
b. Protect the paint with a coat of non-abrasive auto wax every three
months.
2. Axles and Moving Parts
a. Clean around axles and moving parts WEEKLY with a slightly damp (not
wet) cloth.
b. Wipe off or blow away any fluff, dust, or dirt on axles or moving parts.
Note: You do not need to grease or oil the chair.
3. Upholstery
a. Hand-wash (machine washing may damage fabric).
b. Drip-dry only. DO NOT machine dry as heat will damage fabric.

and service all items on the "Maintenance Chart." (See p. 34)
