WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and
BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware
is tightened securely - otherwise injury or dam-
age may result.
ALWAYS perform this procedure in the presence
of an assistant. The position of the footrest, cam-
ber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back
upholstery as well as the user's condition are di-
rectly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any
change to one (1) or any combination of the
five (5) may cause the wheelchair to decrease
in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a
new seating position.
Check ALL Allen Screws that secure the foot-
rest/raised footrest system to the wheelchair
frame to make sure they are securely tight-
ened BEFORE using the wheelchair. ESPECIALLY
if engaging in ANY vigorous activity.
The footrest assembly MUST be at least 1-3/4-
inches above the ground/floor to avoid hitting
protruding objects when using this wheelchair.
