Repair And Service Information; Operating Information - Invacare ProSPIN X4 Owner's Manual

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheels in the most rearward position
in the axle mounting plate. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting
positions causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
Always ensure stability before moving the rear wheels forward. Test wheelchair before it
is occupied by the end user to ensure safety.

Repair and Service Information

Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the
wheelchair is unoccupied.
