WARNING
Installing a back support on a wheelchair may affect the
center of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backwards potentially resulting in injury.
Always assess for the potential need for anti-tippers or
amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase stability.
WARNING
Do not use the back to push or lift wheelchair.
Improper use may cause the back to unexpectedly
detach from the wheelchair.
