M. REAR WHEEL LOCKS
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a
moving wheelchair. Use the only to keep the rear wheels
from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your
chair when it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out
of control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear
wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that
side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do
not expect it.
4. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when
locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.

1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as
you can. If you fail to do so, the seat may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying or
thin spots, or stretching of fabrics at rivet holes.

result in the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce
flame retardation of the fabric.
