Part No 1125027
Stability - All Models Except Recliners
To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheel axle mounting brackets in the
most rearward position. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting positions
causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
If moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to any forward position, ensure the
wheelchair is stable before using.
ALWAYS ensure stability before using maximum amount of tilt-in-space or moving the
rear wheel axle mounting brackets forward. Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the
end user to ensure safety.
Stability - Recliner Models Only
Before using ANY recline position of this wheelchair, make sure the rear wheel axle
mounting brackets are in the most rearward position in the axle mounting plate to
maintain the stability of the wheelchair. DO NOT change the handling/maneuverability
of the wheelchair by moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to ANY of the
forward positions. Moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to ANY of the forward
positions WILL change the center of gravity of the wheelchair, making the wheelchair less
stable.
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable both in the full reclined (back at 180°)
position and the full upright (back at 90°) position before using the recliner option.
Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in the
lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closest to the ground/floor).
NOTE: When changes
to the left hand column
occur, follow across the
chart and refer to the X
procedure to maintain
the proper stability,
safety and handling of
the wheelchair.
