Troubleshooting

All

Freedom CGX™

wheelchairs leave the factory inspected and adjusted for immediate

use, (aside from the unfolding procedure). This troubleshooting chart offers some sugges-
tions regarding the use of your wheelchair. Some areas may require more investigation to
find the most suitable solution for a specific problem. A complete inspection, safety check,
and servicing should be made by an authorized dealer at least once a year. Any problems
should be directed to your authorized dealer or call our customer service department.
