SECTION 3-SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS ƽ WARNING DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. *Wheel locks are an option. You may order the wheelchair with or without wheel locks. Transfer to and from the wheelchair in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional to determine individual safety limits. Invacare strongly recommends ordering the wheel locks as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
