Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without changing your seating position. Do not lean over the top of the back upholstery as this could change your centre of gravity and may cause you to tip over. 3.

Armrest PVC pads are fixed onto the armrest for comfort and can be replaced as spare parts. 4.
These are used to hold the chair in a stationary position, and are fitted on either side of the chair on the back wheels. They should not be used when the chair is moving or to slow it down. They should always be applied together. To operate, pull the brake lever back towards the back of the chair. This will immobilize the chair.
