After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may occur.
ALWAYS engage both hublocks and reduce the gap distance BEFORE transferring
to and from the wheelchair. Turn all casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto.
Hublocks are NOT brakes. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the
hublocks.
Users should be evaluated by a care provider to determine the suitability of the hub
lock option. Repetitive uncontrolled motion or spasms can result in damage to the
hub lock system
Engaging the hublocks may not prevent the wheelchair from moving on all floor
surfaces including those that may be wet or slick. ALWAYS exercise caution when
transferring into or out of your wheelchair.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame
rails are fully seated into the side frame H-blocks.
