come off during use and cause a fall.

NOTE– The axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully (A). Check that the axle is
locked by pulling on the wheel in the direction of the axle.
2. To Remove Wheel

G. WHEEL LOCKS
Wheel locks are installed at Sunrise and should be adjusted by your qualified service person.
Inspect wheel locks weekly per the maintenance chart. Do not use your chair UNLESS you are sure both
wheel-locks can fully engage. A wheel-lock that is not correctly adjusted may allow your chair to roll, or
turn unexpectedly.
Wheel-locks must be adjusted after making sure the tires have the correct air pressure. When fully
engaged, the arm should be imbedded into the tire at least 1/8" to be effective.
If you find the wheel locks have slipped or are not working correctly contact your service provider for
proper adjustment.
