Care Instructions
- Wipe nylon upholstery with mild soap and damp cloth after each use; air-dry before folding.
- Inspect wheel locks monthly for proper engagement; tighten mounting hardware if needed.

- Check footrest pivot pins quarterly; lubricate with silicone spray if swing motion becomes stiff.
- Do not exceed 300 lb weight capacity; overloading stresses frame welds and voids warranty coverage.

FAQs
Q: What's the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch seat widths?
A: The 17-inch model opens to 20 inches wide overall, while the 19-inch opens to 22 inches. Both fold to 9 inches for storage. Choose based on user hip width and doorway clearances.
Q: Can the patient self-propel this wheelchair?
A: No, this is a transport wheelchair designed for attendant pushing. The 8-inch front wheels and lack of hand rims mean caregivers provide all propulsion.
Q: How do the swing-away footrests help with transfers?
A: Footrests pivot outward and away, eliminating obstacles when moving the patient from wheelchair to car seat, bed, or toilet. This reduces fall risk during transfers.
Q: Will this fit in a standard car trunk when folded?
A: Yes. At 9 inches wide folded and 19 lbs total weight, it fits most sedan trunks and SUV cargo areas without removing seats.
Q: What's covered under the frame warranty versus the 3-month wear warranty?
A: The aluminum frame structure has lifetime coverage against welding defects or metal fatigue. Nylon upholstery, wheels, footrests, and armrests have 3-month coverage for stitching failures or material flaws from manufacturing.
