USER CONDITION
To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheel axle mounting brackets in the
most rearward position. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting positions
causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
If moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to any forward position, ensure the
wheelchair is stable before using.
ALWAYS ensure stability before using maximum amount of tilt‐in‐space or moving the
rear wheel axle mounting brackets forward. Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the
end user to ensure safety.
