WARNING
ALWAYS perform these procedures in the presence of an assistant. The position of the footrest,
camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are
directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to one or any combination of the five
may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use extreme caution when using a new seating
position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
