Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times.

ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (reverse recline) the wheelchair.

Make sure spring buttons of the spreader bar fully protrude out through the hole in the handle BEFORE using the wheelchair.

Make sure both back canes are at the same angle BEFORE releasing the handles of the recline mechanisms.

Mount the rear wheels in the Rear Wheel Offset Bracket ONLY. NEVER reposition the rear wheels to the forward position, stability of the wheel- chair will decrease.
