WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or dam- age may result.

ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of the footrest, cam- ber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are di- rectly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the five (5) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position.

Check ALL Allen Screws that secure the foot- rest/raised footrest system to the wheelchair frame to make sure they are securely tight- ened BEFORE using the wheelchair. ESPECIALLY if engaging in ANY vigorous activity.

The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1-3/4- inches above the ground/floor to avoid hitting protruding objects when using this wheelchair.
