I WARNING
The threads on the screws that secure the casters to the fork are treated with Vibra-TITE
®
VC-3, a locking and sealing
coating, to reduce the possibility they will become loose. You should be able to remove and reinstall these screws
approximately four times without reapplying the coating. If you repeatedly remove and reinstall these screws, TiLite
requires that you reapply Vibra-TITE
®
VC-3 after every fourth adjustment. 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.
