The Tracer SX Recliner wheelchair MUST be operated by a healthcare
professional or assistant when in ANY reclined position.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before
reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain maximum stability and
safety.
Assistants MUST be prepared to support the weight of the occupant
when reclining, or returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full
upright position. Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or
seek assistance if necessary to avoid injury.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (reverse
recline) the wheelchair.
Make sure occupant's and bystanders' hands and body are clear of all
pinch points before reclining back. Use caution, otherwise injury may
occur.
