WARNING

TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:

The Tracer SX Recliner wheelchair MUST be operated by a healthcare professional or assistant when in ANY reclined position.

Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain maximum stability and safety.

Assistants MUST be prepared to support the weight of the occupant when reclining, or returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position. Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance if necessary to avoid injury.

ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (reverse recline) the wheelchair.

Make sure occupant's and bystanders' hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining back. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.
