SAFETY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
mONThLY ChECk LIST / TROUBLEShOOTING
GENERAL:
Inspect the entire Translator for broken parts, sharp edges and loose fasteners. Ensure that everything works and the
chair rolls straight without drag and does not pull to one side. Replace or tighten parts as needed. Inspect for bent
frame and crossbars.
FRAmE AND CROSSBRACES:
Check that the frame is not bent or dented. Check the tubing for cracks and rust. If such issues are found, take the
Translator to your local service dealer.
UphOLSTERY:
Inspect for any rips, tears or worn spots and replace as necessary. Inspect the upholstery screws and assure that all
are present and tight. Torn or worn upholstery may not support the user's weight and could result in a fall with serious
bodily injury.
SEAT BACk:
Ensure the seat back folding mechanism is functioning properly and the seat back locks securely in the upright position.
ARmRESTS:
Check for cracks, looseness, or sharp edges.
hAND GRIpS:
Ensure the hand grips are tight and secure on the handles. They should not move or twist.
FOOTRESTS / LEG RESTS:
Ensure the leg rest assembly release works properly. Ensure the assembly automatically locks securely into place when
attached and will not accidentally unlock.
FRONT CASTER FORkS:
Verify the forks swivel freely without binding. Check to ensure the casters roll freely by lifting the chair and spinning the
caster. The caster should come to a gradual stop. If the nut is too loose, the caster will flutter or shimmy. If the nut is too
tight, the chair will be difficult to steer. Check the bearings and clean the fork stem housing.
FRONT AND REAR TIRES:
Solid tires require minimal maintenance. They should occasionally be cleaned with a damp cloth. Replace the tires if they
become cracked, excessively worn, or have flat spots.
MAINTENANCE
Your Medline Translator should be checked periodically to ensure the brakes are functioning properly and that all parts
are secure.
Periodically test the brakes by both walking and squeezing the brakes and by stopping, pushing down on the brakes
to a locked position, and then trying to push the Translator. If the brakes do not lock the wheels, the brakes need to be
adjusted. If adjustment does not tighten the brakes, DO NOT use the Translator.
