III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
L. Wheelchair Stability (Continued)
WARNING: If the wheelchair is equipped with a system to vary the tilt angle of the seat
frame, confirm it is stable throughout the range of angle changes before use. If the
wheelchair is not stable throughout the range of tilt angles a fall or tip over is imminent.
Falling or tipping over could result in damage to your wheelchair, serious injury or death.
Strategies to minimize the risk of falling:
• Ensure anti-tips are in the correct position (Reference Section N for proper use of anti-tips).
• Lean forward when pushing up an incline.
• Lean back when pushing down a decline.
• Have an attendant behind you to provide assistance.
• Wheelchair set up should be done only by an authorized technician.
• Always use the accessories provided.
• Your wheelchair should be adjusted by an authorized technician when there are changes in
your weight or how you sit.
• Always use anti-tips where appropriate (Reference Section for proper use of anti-tips).
To ensure proper stability of your wheelchair, you must make sure the center of gravity and the
wheelchair’s base of support is correct for your balance and abilities. Many factors can affect
these two elements:
There are additional actions that can have adverse effects on the stability of your wheelchair. You
should consult with an assistive technology professional or clinical professional that is familiar
with your needs and capabilities to determine what you are able to do safely while maintaining
the stability of your wheelchair.
M. Aftermarket Seating
WARNING: The installation of a cushion on a wheelchair could affect the center of gravity
of the wheelchair. Changes in your center of gravity may affect your stability in your
wheelchair, resulting in tipping over or falling from your wheelchair which may result in
serious injury. Always review the instructions for use of your wheelchair to see if changes
to the wheelchair may be needed to provide sufficient stability after adding a cushion.
