up for your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS you are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.

L. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a mov-
ing 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.
4. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked. If
you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control
may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

N. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you can.
If you fail to do so, the seat may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or thin
spots, or stretching of fabrics at rivet holes.

the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retar-
dation of the fabric.
