Stability
 STABILITY WARNINGS
The position of the footrest, seat angle, back angle, seating system/upholstery, caster size and
position, rear wheel size and position, use of anti-tippers, as well as the user condition directly relate
to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any combination of the ten may cause the
wheelchair to decrease in stability. EXTREME care MUST be taken when changing the stability of the
wheelchair.
To maintain maximum stability, the rear wheels should be left in the factory setting. Moving the rear
wheels forward causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
ALWAYS ensure stability before moving the rear wheels forward. Test wheelchair before it is occu-
pied by the end user to ensure safety.
