WARNING

ALWAYS perform these procedures 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.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching

hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
