safety precautions

1. Please make sure the Duet is fully opened, seat is down and
the folding bar under seat is locked in the down position.
2. Be sure that both knobs are fully tightened and are at equal
heights. Test Duet for stability before applying full weight to
hand grips.
3. Test the loop locks before operating the Duet. When wheels
are locked (see illustrations for locking and releasing locks
below), lock bar on rear wheels should prevent wheels from
turning. If the wheels turn while locked, please take unit
back to dealer for adjustment. When locks are released, the
wheels should turn freely.
4. Always lock loop locks before sitting and do not use seat
when unit is on an incline or uneven ground.
5. Replace tires when significantly worn or damaged.
6. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the dual wheel
locks against the tire on both rear wheels. Make sure the
front casters are in the forward position before transferring
into or out of the chair.
7. Leaning forward while using the Duet as a transport chair
with out proper assistance can cause tipping.
NOTE: You and your attendant should consult a qualified
professional for the correct techniques on ramp negotiations.

both loop locks with palms until you hear a "click" that will
tell you wheels are locked.
