10.6 Anti-tippers (Optional)
Anti-tippers prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
To equip with anti-tippers, press the spring button before inserting them into
the back of side frame. Ensure the spring button is secure in the fixing hole.
If the anti-tipper is adjustable, the minimum distance between the rear wheel
and the anti-tipper should be more than 5cm and the maximum distance
between the ground and the anti-tipper should be less than 5 cm.
10.7 Seat Upholstery and Backrest Upholstery
Anti-tippers which are incorrectly set or damage can lead to tipping. Please
always check that the anti-tippers are working before using the wheelchair.
Please ask for an authorized dealer when anti-tippers need to be installed
or readjusted.
If the position of the rear wheel axle has been adjusted, please re-evaluate
the wheelchair to check if installing the anti-tippers is necessary.
An activated anti-tipper may bump into the ground when negotiating steps
or kerbs. Therefore, deactivate the anti-tippers if needed.
The distance between the brake shoe and the tire can be adjusted. To
keep the braking efficacy, the adjustment must be carried out by an
authorized dealer.
