The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/
position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user condi-
tion directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any

adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
CAUTION
DO NOT over tighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause dam-
age to the frame tubing.
ENGAGING TILT IN SPACE/RECLINER OPERATION
WARNING
Make sure the occupant of the wheelchair is properly positioned in the wheelchair
BEFORE using the tilt-in-space, reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain
maximum stability and safety. Refer to PROCEDURE 1 - GENERAL GUIDE-
LINES in this manual.
The Solara jr. wheelchair MUST be operated by an Assistant when in any tilt or
reclined position.
