ful life of your chair.

B. CRITICAL SAFETY CHECKS

wheel locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air pressure
shown on tire sidewall.

When checking axles and axle sleeves every six months, make sure they
are clean and tight. Loose sleeves will damage the axle plate and will affect

ers are tight and that no parts have moved from their preset positions.
