2. Alter the frame.
3. Void the warranty.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in damage to your wheelchair, injury to yourself,
a fall, a tip-over and/or loss of control, causing severe injury to yourself or others.
Rear Wheels
WARNING: A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of gravity of your
wheelchair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles forward, the more likely it is that your wheelchair
will tip over backward.
2. Consult with your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear axle set-up for your
wheelchair. Do not change the set-up unless you are SURE that you are not at risk to tip
over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel parking brakes after you make any change to the rear axles. Align
the parking brakes in such a way that the locking face covers approximately 2/3 of the
width of the wheel for side to side alignment and interferes with the wheel approximately
1/8” (3mm). Failure to do so may cause the parking brakes not to work.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in damage to your wheelchair, injury to yourself,
a fall, a tip-over and/or loss of control, causing severe injury to yourself or others.
Rear Wheel Locks
WARNING: Rear wheel parking brakes are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving
wheelchair. Use them only to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your wheelchair is at a
complete stop.
1. NEVER use the rear wheel parking brakes to try to slow or stop your chair when it is
moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel locks when you transfer
to or from your wheelchair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the parking brakes on that side to slip and may
allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
4. Make sure the Parking brakes embed in the tires at least 1/8 inch (3 mm) and align
Parking brakes in such a way that the locking face covers approximately 2/3 of the width
of the wheel for side to side alignment. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in damage to your chair, injury to yourself, a
fall, a tip-over and/or loss of control, causing severe injury to yourself or others.
