Your RoughRider™

Basic Riding Skills Maintenance and Repair

Nuts and Bolts

Although your RoughRider has been designed with a minimum number of nuts and bolts, over

time and miles of travel, your RoughRider will experience vibrations and torque that can cause the

nuts and bolts to loosen. Loose fasteners allow unwanted extra movement in the chair and this

movement makes pushing your chair more difficult. Loose fasteners also make other parts, like the

brakes, hard to use. Tightening loose nuts and bolts will prevent parts from getting lost or broken

and will help your RoughRider roll more easily.

Inspect your RoughRider for loose nuts and bolts. If

loose, tighten them with a wrench. The center pivot bolt

of the X-brace should not be tight but the locknut used to

keep the bolt from falling out should be very secure and

hard to turn. You should be able to hold one caster wheel

down and lift the other 2 cm (3/4 in.) above the ground

with little effort.

Lock nuts or split nuts should be repaired if you notice

they are coming loose. See the Split Nut repair section for

a solution.

Tightening Nuts and Bolts

You should not have to use too much force to tighten a nut. If tightening is difficult, then the nut

may be cross-threaded on the bolt. If you tighten a cross-threaded nut, you can ruin the threads of

the bolt and that might make it difficult to remove the nut later.
