 WARNING
ALWAYS perform this procedure 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 seat-
ing position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.
