K. Wheelchair Stability
WARNING: If attempting a wheelie to get over a curb or obstacle, ensure your anti-tips are in place
and lean forward. Do not attempt a wheelie unless you have been trained and always have an
attendant behind you to provide assistance if needed. Failure to comply with the instruction above
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Placing items on the back or front of your wheelchair, such as a backpack or
briefcase, alters the balance and center of gravity of the wheelchair. Since the weight of these
items can vary greatly at each use do not assume you are accustomed to the balance point.
Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in serious injury or death.
BE AWARE THAT CARRYING HEAVY OBJECTS ON YOUR WHEELCHAIR CAN HAVE AN
ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE BALANCE WHICH MAY CAUSE A TIP-OVER WHICH MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE USER.
WARNING: Ensure your anti-tips are in place. You should discuss how you plan to use your
wheelchair or any changes you are planning with your clinician. Failure to comply with this
instruction may create a potential hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
