Essential Manual Wheelchair Maintenance Checklist

2Is your manual wheelchair in top shape? ♿️ Regular maintenance is the secret to a smoother ride and a longer-lasting chair!

Our newest blog post features a quick checklist to help you stay mobile and safe: 🧼 Keep it Clean: A simple wipe-down prevents dirt buildup and frame corrosion. 🚲 Tire Check: For air-filled tires, check the pressure weekly to make self-propelling easier. 🛡️ Brake Safety: Ensure your brakes engage firmly every time to prevent accidents. 🔧 Tighten Up: Check for loose bolts and lubricate moving parts with silicone spray (skip the WD-40!). 🏠 Smart Storage: Store your chair in a dry place to prevent rust and material wear.

Even with the best care, wheelchairs eventually need replacing. If your chair is feeling unstable or worn out, Universal Med Supply can help you determine if you're eligible for a new one through insurance. 🏥
