To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheels in the most rearward position in the axle mounting plate. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting positions causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.

Always ensure stability before moving the rear wheels forward. Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the enduser to ensure safety.
