WARNING
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for
approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or
seek assistance to avoid injury.
Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment
hole closest to the ground/floor).
Before using ANY recline position of this wheelchair, make sure the rear wheels are in the MOST REARWARD position to
maintain the stability of the wheelchair. DO NOT change the handling/maneuverability of the wheelchair by moving the
rear wheels to any of the forward positions. Moving the rear wheels to any of the forward positions will change the center
of gravity of the wheelchair, making the wheelchair less stable.
ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.
Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining back. Pinch points exist between
spreader bar and gas cylinders. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.
1. Make sure the wheelchair is on a level surface.
2. Engage the wheel locks.
3. Inform the occupant of the wheelchair that the wheelchair is about to be reclined.
4. Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points.
5. Stand behind the wheelchair and grasp the adjustable angle stroller handle firmly.
6. Pull up on the trigger release levers to release the gas cylinders.
7. Slowly, squeeze the trigger release levers and perform one of the following:
• Reclining - Allow the back to recline to the desired angle.
• Returning to upright position - Pull up and push the stroller handle towards the front of the wheelchair until the back is in the upright
position.
8. When the back reaches desired angle, slowly release the handles of the recliner cable assemblies.
