WARNING
TiLite recommends that you remove the wheel locks
(whether Standard Push to Lock, Uni-Lock or Scissor
Lock) from your chair frame prior to engaging in any
contact sport. If you ignore this Warning, you may
seriously injure yourself or others or damage the
wheelchair.
WARNING
If the wheel locks (whether Standard Push to Lock,
Uni-Lock or Scissor Lock) are improperly adjusted so
the wheel stop embeds less than 3/16" into the tire,
the chair may roll unexpectedly. Therefore, before
adjusting the lock you must make sure the tires are
properly inflated to the recommended tire pressure
(see sidewall of the tire). If you adjust the locks when
the tires are under-inflated, the lock will not operate
properly when the tire is fully inflated. If you ignore
this Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of
the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others
or damage the wheelchair.
WARNING
After making any adjustment to the wheel locks
(whether Standard Push to Lock, Uni-Lock or Scissor
Lock), engage the wheel locks and push against the
tires to verify that the new position permits the wheel
locks to fully prevent the wheels from moving. If not,
readjust the wheel locks until the wheel locks securely
prevent the chair from rolling. If you ignore this
Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the
wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or
damage the wheelchair.
