it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel
locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to
slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.

you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
