WARNING
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.

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
