N. REAR WHEEL LOCKS (OPTIONAL)

Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair. Use them only to keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.

1.NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of control.

2.To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.

3.Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.

3.“Dropping down” into your chair will weaken fabric and result in the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.

4.Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
