SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

STABILITY- ALL MODELS

The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/
position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user condition
directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination
of the eleven (11) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments
MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
NOTE: When changes
to the left hand column
occur, follow across the
chart and refer to the X
procedure to maintain
the proper stability,
safety and handling of
the wheelchair.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the tilt-in-space.
Axle mounting plates have specific positions depending on the size of the rear wheels.
Using axle mounting plate positions other than those described in this manual will cause
an unsafe anti-tipper height as well as a possible forward seat dump. NEVER use an axle
mounting plate position other than those described in this manual-otherwise injury or
damage may result.

STABILITY - ALL MODELS EXCEPT RECLINERS

To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheels in the most rearward position in
the axle mounting plate. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting positions
causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
If moving the rear wheels 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 wheels forward. Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the end user to ensure safety.
