CAUTION DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing. SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 1. Before using your Invacare MVP, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace. Check all parts for proper adjustment. WARNING DO NOT use WD-40®, 3-in-1 oil®, or other penetrating lubricants on quickrelease axles. Otherwise, binding and/or damage to the wheelchair may occur. 2. Clean/oil quick-release axles once (1) a week with a Teflon® lubricant. 3. Periodically check the back fold down mechanisms to ensure that they lock the back securely in place. If the back does not lock properly, take the wheelchair to a qualified technician for disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the locking mechanism. WARNING DO NOT use the wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. 4. If tires are pneumatic, recommended tire pressure is listed on the sidewall of the tire.
