CHAPTER 10: WHEEL LOCKS
I WARNING
TiLite recommends that you remove the wheel locks from your chair frame prior to engaging in any sport. If you ignore this
Warning, you may seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
I WARNING
The wheel stop must embed into the tire at least 3/16” or the chair may roll unexpectedly. Therefore, before adjusting the
lock you must inate the tires to the recommended tire pressure (see sidewall of the tire). If you adjust the locks when the
tires are under-inated, the lock will not operate properly when the tire is fully inated. If you ignore this Warning, you may
fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
I WARNING
After adjusting the wheel locks, engage the wheel locks and push against the tires to verify that the wheel locks prevent
the wheels from moving. If not, readjust the wheel locks until the wheel locks securely prevent the chair from rolling. If you
ignore this Warning, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage
the wheelchair.
