WARNING!
– DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with
wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
– If wheel locks do not hold the occupied wheelchair in
place, contact a qualified technician; otherwise injury
or damage may occur.
Position wheelchair on a flat, level surface to perform this
procedure.
1. Ensure the wheel lock is in the open (unlocked) position.
2. Loosen the bolt and locknut A that secure the wheel lock
assembly B to the wheelchair frame C.
3. Reposition the wheel lock so that when engaged, the wheel lock
shoe D embeds the tire E 1/8 inch (3/16 inch for pneumatic
tires) and holds the wheelchair.
4. Securely tighten the bolt and locknut securing the wheel lock
to the wheelchair frame.
5. Engage the wheel lock.
