wheelchairs leave the factory inspected and adjusted for immediate use,
(aside from the unfolding procedure). This troubleshooting chart offers some suggestions re-
garding 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.
