Important Tips of Drive Bariatric Aluminum Transport Chair

Operating the Drive Heavy Duty Transport Chair

1. To open the transport chair, tilt to one side and push down on seat rails
2. Lift back support to upright position. The lock to secure the back will engage automatically
3. To fold down and store, pull up on locks simultaneously, and carefully fold down the back support
4. To attach footrests, align the holes on the footrest arm with the pegs on the frame of the Transport chair
5. To Adjust the length of the footrests, loosen the bolt (or knob) on the telescoping tube shaft
6. Tighten securely after adjustment. The lowest part of the footrest should not be less than 2 1/2 inches from the ground to permit proper clearance
7. To remove the Swing-away footrest, release the lock. Swing outward and rearward. Simply lift up and off to remove the footrest.

Maintaining the Drive Transport Chair

1. At least once a week, wipe off chrome using a clean soft cloth. If the chair is exposed to moisture, dry the chair immediately
2. The metal parts of the chair should be polished once a month with an auto wax
3. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution, rinse and wipe dry. Worn or torn upholstery should be replaced promptly as it may not support your body weight
4. Inspect the wheels of the manual wheelchair at least once a month. Correct any side play by loosening the lock nut on the axle, then tighten the axle just enough to remove side play
5. Solid rubber tires require limited upkeep, but need to be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth. Solid rubber tires need to be replaced if they become cracked or severely worn
