Bolt-On Push Handles; Mounting - Permobil Aero Z 2 Series Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 4: BACKRESTS AND PUSH HANDLES
I WARNING
Any changes to the depth of the backrest will affect the stability ( i.e. center of gravity) of the chair. Use extreme caution when
using a new backrest depth as it may make the chair more prone to tip over. After adjusting the depth of the backrest,
you must consider whether additional changes need to be made to compensate for the modified stability of the chair
( e.g. , changing the rear axle position, backrest angle, rear seat height).
If you ignore this Warning, your chair may not perform properly, which in turn, may cause you to fall, tip over or lose control
of the chair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the chair.
