￿ WARNING

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of the footrest, camber tube, seat angle, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.

Check ALL allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the wheelchair frame to make sure they are securely tightened BEFORE using the wheelchair. ESPECIALLY if engaging in ANY contact sport.

The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1¾-inches above the ground/floor to avoid hitting protruding objects when using this wheelchair.
