RECLINER OPERATION (FIGURE 2)
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that the wheel-
chair is stable 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 (ad-
justment hole closest to the ground/
floor.)
Before using ANY recline position of this wheelchair, make sure the rear wheels are
in the MOST REARWARD position to maintain the stability of the wheelchair. DO
NOT change the handling/maneuverability of the wheelchair by moving the rear
wheels to any of the forward positions. moving the rear wheels to any of the for-
ward positions will change the center of gravity of the wheelchair, making the
wheelchair less stable.

back. Pinch Points exist between spreader bar and gas cylinders. Use caution, other-
