I. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving 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. Make sure wheellock 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 wheelchair user or others.

ing of fabrics at rivet holes.

inspect and replace the seat more often.
