Wheel Locks

WARNING
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
Engaging the wheel locks may not prevent the wheelchair from moving on all floor surfaces including those that may be wet
or slick. ALWAYS exercise caution when transferring into or out of the wheelchair.
WARNING
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times.
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to Installing the Anti-Tippers
on page 50 for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair.
Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seat-to-floor height with or without a change to seat-to-floor angle, the
correct anti-tippers must be used to maintain a 1

to 2-inch ground clearance.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of the adjustment holes.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
The manual wheelchair is intended for indoor and outdoor use on firm surfaces. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on
gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. DO NOT operate on soft
surfaces such as sand, grass or gravel.
