NOTE: When changes to the left hand column occur, follow across the chart and refer to the ✓ procedure to maintain the proper stability, safety and handling of the wheelchair.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable BEFORE using the tilt-in- space.

STABILITY - ALL MODELS EXCEPT RECLINERS

STABILITY WARNINGS

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.

If moving the rear wheels to ANY forward position, ensure the wheelchair is stable BEFORE using.

ALWAYS ensure stability BEFORE using maximum amount of tilt-in-space or moving the rear wheels forward. TEST wheelchair BEFORE it is occupied by the end user to ensure safety.
