STABILITY - ALL MODELS EXCEPT RECLINERS
STABILITY WARNINGS
To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheels in the most rearward
position in the axle mounting plate. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other
mounting positions causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
If moving the rear wheels to ANY forward position, ensure the wheelchair is
stable BEFORE using.
ALWAYS ensure stability BEFORE using maximum amount of tilt-in-space or
moving the rear wheels forward. TEST wheelchair BEFORE it is occupied by
the end user to ensure safety.
