32V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIRV. Transit Wheels (Optional)Transit wheels can be used to negotiate narrow passageways where your wheelchair would be toowide if the rear wheels are used (e.g., in airplanes, buses, doorways, etc.). The transit wheels shouldbe setup at such a height that allows you to maintain control and stability while in use. Whenremoving the rear wheels ensure you are doing so in a way which allows you to maintain control andstability with the support of a stable and solid surface on either side of you. When removing the rearwheels it is important to keep them within reach. You will require the use of an attendant or a solidstructure to help move you through the narrow passageway since you will not be able to use the rearwheels for mobility. While transit wheels are in use, the wheel locks will not be operational. Transitwheels are intended to use over short distances such as through doorways and airplane aisles. Theydo not replace the purpose or function of the rear wheels.WARNING: Never use transit wheels on soft or uneven ground where the transit wheels can sinkinto the surface. This could result in a loss of stability causing a fall which could cause serious injuryor death.• Before use, ensure transit wheels are set at the same height and have been adjusted to aheight which does not create instability. Failure to do so could result in a loss of stabilitycausing a fall which could cause serious injury or death.• While in use, take caution to ensure obstacles are not located under the base of thewheelchair which could potentially catch the transit wheel and cause a sudden loss ofmobility. Failure to do so could result in a loss of stability causing a fall which could causeserious injury or death.• Take caution to ensure you are able to remain in control of the chair and that you are notlocated on an upward or downward slope which could cause you to lose control of thewheelchair.
