ƽ WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence of an assistant. The position of
the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as
the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to
one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of
anti-tippers may be required.
