a.UNLESS you are a skilled wheelchair user of this chair and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.

3.Keep anti-tip tubes locked in place UNLESS:

a.You have an attendant; or

b.You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
