WHEELCHAIR INSPECTION
When you receive your new wheelchair, inspect it to make sure that it is in working order. Inspect it every day that you use it.
- Check for broken or damaged parts.
Look at the seat to see that there are no cracks.
-
Check that the rear wheels are on tightly, rotate freely, and do not wobble. If they do, ask someone to tighten the bolts that hold them.
-
The tires should be inflated so they feel firm to your fingers.
-
Make sure that the brakes lock and keep the chair from rolling.
