is correctly fitted and engaged at all times when the chair is in
use, or it should be removed totally if not required. It should
not be left hanging loose. (see label on the backbrace) (photo

; it may come loose and the wheelchair and user drop. Keep
your fingers away from movable parts to prevent injuries.
