How to stop squeaky wheels - Pride Jazzy Select 6 Indoor Power Wheelchair

Could be multiple things. Wheel bearing, lug nuts not all the way tight. Or you could need brake pads

Probably best to grease the wheels (called drum support rollers) rather than use WD-40 because that strips away the lubrication. It will also pay to check the drum support glides under the front of the drum. Worst case you may have to replace the support rollers.

At the back of the printer is a door. Open door and put some very thin oil(firearm or sewing machine oil works well) either sides of the shaft that the black rollers are on.



Good luck

Hi my name is Tom and I can help you.

Driving with your emergency brake on is only going to affect your rear brakes. There is a cable running from the emergency brake lever to your rear brakes.

You did not say how long you drove with the emergency brake on, but even a short distance and you forced the front brakes to do the work of stopping the car. This causes overuse which translates to heat. When the brakes over heat they "fade" and do not stop the car effectively.

In addition the heavy load of doing all the stopping causes the brakes not to realign. Therefore, when you go around corners the brakes pads will rub against the rotors.

I would suggest you get the brakes looked at or look at them yourself. I can help you do the job but I would need to talk to you directly. Let me know what I can do to help.

Sounds like their is a bind, you will have to have your local dealer inspect it. Either the machine needs a full oiling or thread has wrapped around something inside.

hope that helps,

clean the wheels with soupy water, clean out all mud and things in between the wheels and hinges area. Check for loose parts, cracks and worn condition, repair and replace them if you can, let the wheels dry out then spray the hinges and any moving part and source of friction them with lubricant like W40.

the roller wheel shafts are rusty, grease as needed and check drum felt and glides, if worn replace as needed. oil belt tension pulley wheel shaft as well.

check and lube the nylon bearing in the rubber boot at the bottom of the steering cloumn inside the car. Use WD40 or thicker silicone lube

You need your brakes replaced all around.

That's where I'd go first. check with driveline unloaded (neutral with wheels off the ground.)
