SAFETY INFORMATION
As with standard wheels, always use your wheelchair within
the limits of your ability and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury or death.
The REV™ is designed to keep the geometry of your chair
similar to a standard set of wheels, but to achieve optimal
posture and positioning, it may be necessary to make
modifications to your chair. If such modifications are desired,
please contact your local wheelchair provider.

WARNING!
Be careful when navigating steep hills and always
operate under control. Be specifically aware of the
position of your body in the chair. Correct balance when
navigating hills may differ from conventional wheels and
may require the user to reposition themselves to avoid
tipping.
Be careful of excessive speed and ride under control at all
times, especially when going downhill. Maintain proper
braking pressure with hands and control downhill speed
at all times to avoid accidents and collisions.
Rowheels REV™ wheelsets are a precision mechanical
device. As such, users should always provide proper care,
especially when installing, removing or storing wheelsets.
Remain attentive when attaching, removing and stowing
the wheelset. Be cautious of moving parts, metal edges
and other mechanisms that may cause injury.
