Maintenance
Reference the table below for preventative maintenance information. Please consult a qualified wheelchair provider if not confident or uncomfortable performing
any of the tasks listed below. For additional information regarding service, please reference the service manual for the wheelchair found on the Permobil website.
General
• Make sure the wheelchair rolls straight (does not drag or pull to one side)
• Inspect for loose, missing, broken, worn, and/or damaged hardware
Rear Wheels
• Inspect for cracked, bent or broken spokes
• Make sure all spokes are uniformly tight
• Inspect hubs and rims for cracks and wear
• Inspect for "trueness" (excessive side movement when wheel lifted and spun indicates lack of "trueness")
Quick-Release/Quad-Release Axles
• Make sure axles are free of dirt and lint
• Wipe axle with cloth using either a "dry" silicone spray or a "dry" Teflon-based lubricant
Rear Tires
• Check for proper inflation as per sidewall of pneumatic tire
• Inspect for cracks, wear and flat spots
Camber Tube / Axle Sleeves
• Make sure camber clamps are securely tightened
• Make sure camber plugs are secure in camber plug clamps and axle sleeves are secure in camber plugs
Handrims
• Inspect for signs of rough edges or peeling
• Make sure handrims are securely attached to the rim
Wheel Locks
• Make sure wheel locks embed properly into tire and prevent the wheelchair from moving when engaged
• Make sure wheel locks do not interfere with tire when disengaged
• Make sure pivot points are not worn or loose
Seat Sling and Back Upholstery
• Inspect for rips or sagging
• Inspect fastening flaps to make sure they are securely attached
• Inspect while seated to make sure the sling supports the user's weight and does not "bottom out" on the
wheelchair frame cross tube
Casters/Forks
• Inspect wheels and tires for cracks and wear
• Inspect wheel/fork assembly for proper tension by spinning caster (caster should come to a gradual
stop); if caster wobbles, tighten the axle
• Inspect wheel/fork assembly/stem bolt to make sure that stem bolt is secure (wheel/fork assembly should
not have excessive play relative to the stem bolt, but should rotate freely); if necessary, tighten stem bolt
• Make sure that wheel bearings are clean and free of moisture and debris
Footrests / Hangers
• Inspect to make sure all hardware is securely attached
Anti-Tips
• Inspect anti-tip wheel for cracks and wear
• Inspect to make sure the anti-tip receptacle is securely attached
Frame
• Inspect for cracks
