16 Revision: March 2018
If the wheelchair is to go up or down a high step (e.g. a curb), the anti-tip wheels must be
swivelled upwards to avoid them catching on the ground. Pull on them to unlock (2) and
swivel up/down so it looks like picture 2 above.
Caution!
The anti-tip wheels must be secured in their apertures (1) and swivelled
downwards when the wheelchair is in use (exception: when going over a high
step). Otherwise the wheelchair could tip over and cause serious injury.
6.7 Using the wheel locks
The wheels are locked when the handle is pushed completely forward and the brake shoe is
against the wheel (1). To unlock, pull the handle backwards. Lock both wheels before each
embarking and disembarking. The wheel locks should not be used to reduce speed while
moving.
