A. Inspecting Your Rogue XP Wheelchair
Regular and routine maintenance will extend the life of your wheelchair while improving its
performance. Wheelchair repairs and the replacement of parts should be done by a qualified
technician or an authorized Ki Mobility supplier.
1. General Inspections:
a. Clean your chair at least once per month. You may need to clean your chair more frequently
if you operate it in dirty environments, such as a worksite.
b. Check to be sure that all fasteners are tight. Unless otherwise noted, fasteners should be
tightened to 40 in./lbs.
c. Check tires and casters:
• Check the tire for tread wear. Replace the tires if they have flat spots, visible cracks or
if the tread is worn off.
• If you have inflatable tires with a valve stem, check the pressure and set to the
pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
DANGER: Replace worn tires. The wheel locks will not grip properly if you fail to maintain the air
pressure shown on tire sidewall. This could result in a fall or loss of control and cause severe injury
or death.
d. Check spoke wheels for loose spokes.
e. Check your wheel locks. As tires wear, the wheel locks should be adjusted. See Section X -
Wheel Locks.
f. Check your upholstery for tears or sagging. Your upholstery is designed to be tightened
because it will stretch over time. See Adjusting and/or Growing Seat Upholstery on
page 47.
2. Weekly Inspections:
a. Check wheel locks to be sure they are adjusted correctly.
b. Check axle sleeves to ensure the axle sleeve nuts are tight.
c. Check for broken, bent or loose spokes.
d. Check that casters can spin freely.
e. Inspect tires and casters for wear spots.
f. Check pneumatic tires for proper inflation.
