Stability
The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height,
size/position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front casters, as well as the user

for
15-20-inch seat depths and 35° for 20 and 21-inch seat depths). Test wheelchair before it is
occupied by the end user to ensure safety.
Changing the seat depth of the wheelchair changes the stability of the wheelchair. To
maintain stability, reposition the wheels before using the wheelchair.
