6 MAINTENANCE
Protect your E&J Transport Chair by having it serviced regularly. Proper care and maintenance
are essential to keep your Transport Chair in safe working condition. Periodic inspection,
adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance.
When you believe that a component or part of your Transport Chair is not functioning prop-
erly, contact your Graham-Field dealer immediately, as a potentially hazardous condition could
result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.
Service manual
There is no service manual for the Transport Chair. Please contact your Graham-Field dealer
with service questions not answered by this manual.
Note: We recommend that you have a Graham-Field dealer perform a six month maintenance
check, as the dealer may find and correct a problem which might otherwise go undetected and
eventually cause more serious problems and/or personal injury.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can do many of the scheduled maintenance tasks yourself, if you have mechanical ability
and a few basic tools. Refer to the maintenance schedule below for the recommended regular-
ity of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your Graham-Field
dealer for assistance.
Caution: Improper maintenance can cause operating problem and may affect your war-
ranty.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings replacement parts
could change the structure of the Transport Chair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous
condition resulting in serious personal injury.
