WARNING

If converting from six-inch fork to an eight-inch fork or vice versa, there are SEAT-TO-FLOOR height adjustments that must be made. A qualified technician MUST perform these adjustments if this is the case.

Make sure both fork/caster assem- blies are the same size BEFORE using the wheelchair, otherwise injury may occur.

WEIGHT LIMITATION) WHEELCHAIRS AND ALL RE- CLINER MODELS ONLY: The factory installed 8-inch fork assem- bly (part number 1089103) and fork stem washer (part number 1089102), MUST be used on wheel- chairs of these widths. DO NOT replace with any other size/style fork assembly. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
