WHEEL LOCK WARNINGS
• Check the wheel locks to ensure proper function before using the chair. Wheel
locks should embed into the wheel at least 1/8 inch when engaged.
• Engage the wheel locks on both wheels before entering the chair, leaving the
chair, leaning forward in the chair or while being transported in an elevator or a
wheelchair lift.
• Check to make sure that the legrests do not unlock the wheel locks when they
are swung back.
• DO NOT use the wheel locks (or hand grip locks if present) to stop the
wheelchair from moving. Wheel locks are not brakes. DO NOT use the wheel
locks to slow your descent down an incline.
For models: MDS808150, MDS808200
To Engage the Wheel Locks
• Push down on the wheel lock handle to LOCK the chair.
• Pull up on the wheel lock handle to UNLOCK the chair.
