OPERATING THE WHEEL LOCKS

To activate the wheel locks:
1. Press down on the pedals (A) until they stop.
2. To release the wheel locks, depress the upper face of the pedal with your foot or lift up with your toe under the
pedal. The upper portion of the pedal will rest against the chair frame when the wheel lock is released.
WARNING
• Only use wheel locks during passenger transfer or without a passenger on the chair. Tipping could occur if the
chair is moved while the wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the passenger or operator and/or damage
to the chair.
• Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the empty chair from rolling while unattended, and to aid in
passenger transfer. A wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
• Never leave a passenger unattended on the chair or injury could result. Hold the chair securely while a passenger
is on the chair.
• Never use a wheel lock on a chair with excessively worn wheels. Using a wheel lock on a wheel with less than a
5" diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to the passenger or
operator and/or damage to the chair or other equipment.
