Make sure the detent pin and detent balls of the quick-release axle are fully released
before operating the wheelchair.
The detent balls MUST be protruding past the inside of the rear wheel axle bushing
for a positive lock (Detail "A").
Keep detent balls clean.
Invacare recommends inserting quick-release axles with the detent pin to the inside
of the wheelchair to prevent accidental release during contact activities.
