POSITIONING TILT LOCKING COLLARS

WARNING

Anterior (forward) tilt is a feature of this wheelchair designed for the USE OF A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL or ASSISTANT ONLY. Engagement of the anterior (forward) tilt must NEVER be performed by the wheelchair user. When anterior (forward) tilt is needed, it must ALWAYS be engaged by a HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL or ASSISTANT.

The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/ position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the eleven (11) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stabil- ity. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.

DO NOT operate the wheelchair when the seat frame is in the anterior (for- ward) tilt position (frame stops in the lower position and approximately 10° forward tilt). Serious bodily injury may occur to the patient and the assistant(s).

TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:

Make sure the occupant of the wheelchair is properly positioned. Always engage both wheel locks.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely and locking collars are positioned at the same position on the tilt slide.
