Anti-Tip Wheels
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair
increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset
at the factory for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan
on using your power chair on rough surfaces, it may be necessary
to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs. The anti-tip
wheels may need adjustment if either of the following occur:
When accelerating, your power chair tips rearward
excessively.
The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
WARNING! Consult your Quantum Rehab
Dealer before attempting to change the anti-
tip wheel height! Changing the anti-tip wheel
height affects handling under deceleration!
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip
wheels, the more you increase your power
chair’s tendency to tilt rearward when
accelerating. You can compensate for this by
having your Quantum Rehab Dealer make a
small adjustment to the pre-programmed
acceleration setting in the controller or by
adjusting the seat assembly.
WARNING! The anti-tip wheels may cause
trouble when ascending or descending a kerb
if they are not adjusted correctly. Contact
your Quantum Rehab Dealer for more
information.

PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels.
NOTE: Each drive tyre must be inflated to the the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tyre in
order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted. The user must also be seated in the power chair in order
to properly adjust the anti-tip wheels.
