REPOSITIONING MOTORS (FIGURE 26)

WARNING

The overall performance of the wheelchair WILL be affected by the front wheel mounting position. The following charts show the mounting position of the motors for each seat width and depth depending on the factory setting or user's weight. If the mounting position that corresponds to the user's weight is different than the factory setting, the motors MUST BE repositioned to maintain proper stability BEFORE using the wheel- chair. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.

Periodically review the following charts to make sure the motor mounting position still corresponds to the user's weight to maintain the proper stability.
