The clamp assembly works the same for all wheel locks.
a. Using a 5mm Allen wrench, turn one of the screws in the clamp until it runs easily (less than
one turn).
b. Repeat the same process with the second of the two screws so the clamp can be adjusted
on the frame.
c. Adjust the clamp toward the rear wheel so when engaged, the wheel lock compresses the
tire and prevents any wheel movement (Fig. 36).
d. Ensure wheel lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked. If you fail to do so, the
locks may not work (Fig. 37).
e. Retighten the screws.
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair. Use them only to
keep the rear wheels from rolling when your chair is at a complete stop.
• NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair when it is moving. Doing so
may cause you to veer out of control.
• To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear wheel locks when you transfer to
or from your chair.
• Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side to slip and may allow the
wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
• Ensure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8 inch when locked. If you fail to do so, the locks
may not work.
