Securely tighten the bolt and locknut. 4. Engage wheel lock and push against the wheelchair and determine if wheel lock engages the wheel lock shoe enough to hold the wheelchair. 5. Repeat the above procedures until the wheel lock holds the wheelchair. 6. Repeat STEPS 1-5 for the opposite wheel lock. Ensure the wheel lock shoe completely covers the tire contact area.
