required for approximately the last twenty (20) degrees of incline (reverse recline). Make sure to use
proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance if necessary to avoid injury.

ing the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position.

Recommended tire pressure is listed on the side of the tire.
Replacement of a pneumatic tire or tube MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
