I. PUSH HANDLES
When you have an attendant, make sure they use the push handles.
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the rear
of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
3. Make sure that the Adjustment lever is tight and that the Push han-
dle tubes are not loose before any use of the chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
J. REAR WHEELS
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of
your chair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it
is that your chair will tip over backward.
2. Consult your premium retailer to find the best rear axle set-up for
your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS you consult your premi-
um retailer first.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the rear
axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the wheel locks may not work.
b. Make sure lock arms embed in the tires at least 1/8 inch when
locked.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
K. DRUM BRAKE (GOLD AND PLATINUM MODELS)
When you have an attendant, make sure they brake and lock the drum
brakes evenly. Uneven pressure on the drum brake levers can cause
uneven wear of the brake components.
1. Drum brakes can be used by an attendant to control the speed, or
lock the rear wheels of your chair.
2. When using the drum brakes be sure to squeeze or lock the two
sides evenly. Applying too much pressure to one side can prema-
turely wear the mechanism, and cause uneven braking.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel
locks when you transfer to or from your chair.

or stretching of fabrics especially at edges and seams.

the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
