The most important safety features of the stand-up wheelchairs are the knee
support
&
safety belt and chest belt. It is absolutely essential that these be correctly
in place before you attempt to stand up.
The knee support holds the knees in an extended posture and prevents you
slipping out the wheelchair while standing up.
Attach the two triangular clasp of the knee lock support
to the double-head screws on either side of the
wheelchair.

the Velour fasteners, then pull it until it is sitting firmly in
place, just below (not right on) the knee cap and not
too tight.
