Using Patient Operated Wheel Locks
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
If the wheelchair is equipped with push to lock wheel locks, elevating legrests, and wheel lock extension handles, the wheel
lock extension handles MUST be removed before swinging the elevating legrests to the side, otherwise injury or damage
may result. Interference between the top of the elevating legrest and the wheel lock extension handle may cause the wheel
lock to disengage.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 3 on page 58.

Position wheelchair on a flat, level surface to perform this procedure.
1. Ensure the wheelchair is not moving before engaging the wheel locks.
2. See Detail "A" for instructions on Push-to-Lock. Refer to Detail "B" for instructions on Pull-to-Lock.
