Anti-tip tubes provide additional safety
for inexperienced users when they are
still learning how to operate their
wheelchairs. They prevent a wheelchair
from tipping over backwards.
By pushing on the release button, the

You must swing the safety wheels upwards when going up and
down large obstacles (such as a curb) to prevent them from
touching the ground. Then rotate the safety wheels back down to the
normal position (Fig. 31).
