8 COMPONENT WARNINGS
ANTI-TIP WHEELS
WARNING
Anti-tip wheels can help keep your chair from tipping over
backward in most normal conditions.
1. Future Mobility Healthcare Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip
Tubes:
a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are
sure you are not at risk to tip over.
b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The
change may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-
tip tubes until you adapt to the change, and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
2. When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip
tubes should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 and 2 inches off the
ground.
a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you
can expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall
or your chair may tip over.
3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
a. You have an attendant, or
b. You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome
an obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At
these times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of
the way.
ARMRESTS
WARNING
Armrests will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come
loose or break.

BACK CANES
WARNING
Always keep fingers away from the locking mechanism located at
the bottom of the back canes when folding the back down or

FASTENERS
WARNING
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special

your chair to fail.

the markings on the heads).

damage to chair parts.

you can.
