STABILITY
Transport chairs are designed to be safe and stable as long
as the center of gravity is maintained. Care must be taken
while performing activities that shift your center of gravity
while in the chair.
BRAKING
1. Applying the Brake
NOTE:
The hand brake may be used if needed, but is
primarily designed to maintain a stopped stance.
The braking wheels must be in contact with the floor,
and the brakes work best with weight on the wheelchair.
If the brake fails to engage, the cable is probably too loose
or too tight. Please see brake adjustment section.
• To use the brake, simply squeeze the lever with your
finger tips toward the handle bar.
• To release the brake, simply release pressure on the
brake lever.
