V adjustMents

The Metro IC4 offers several adjustments to make it easier and more
comfortable to drive. Part VII, MAINTENANCE, offers preventive
maintenance suggestions for keeping your wheelchair in excellent
condition; ensure that all components are in excellent condition
before adjusting. The following are recommended methods; after
a few adjustments, you may develop your own. Always consult your
Graham-Field Health Products dealer for assistance.

The person performing adjustments on the Metro IC4 has the respon-
sibility of making certain that the user can safely operate the wheel-
chair with the adjustments selected. This person must evaluate the
user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment in which
the wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheel-
chair will travel.

All adjustments and their page locations are referenced in the index
at the end of this manual. Specific tools needed to perform each
adjustment are identified in adjustment directions. A complete list of
tools needed to perform all adjustments in this section follows:

Phillips screwdriver
Two 1/2" wrenches
3/8" wrench
M13 wrench
M6 hex key

We recommend that you do not replace or adjust rear wheel or caster
components yourself, since special tools and training are required.
Please contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer when your
rear wheels or casters need adjustment.
