ANTI-TIP DEVICES
B
C
For safety reasons we recommend
the use of two anti-tip devices
The anti-tip device is foldable and adjustable in both
height and depth. Please pay special attention to the
placement of the anti-tip device when in use. A sticker
will warn you if the anti-tip device is not activated.
When the extended rear wheel attachment is used
an extended anti-tip device is recommended, see
next page.
1. Mounting
Remove the back screws (A) and nuts on the rear
wheel attachment.
Insert the Anti-tip device in the holes in the rear
part of the chassis. Fit the anti-tip device on the
screws and tighten.
2. Adjusting height
To adjust the height press the two knobs (B) on
each side of the housing and pull the tube (C) to
desired set of holes.
The knobs will lock the tube into position.
Do not use knobs (B) to fold or unfold the
anti-tip device.
3. Adjusting depth
To adjust the depth press knob (D) and pull the
wheel tube out to desired depth. The knob will
lock the tube into position.
The distance between the anti-tip wheel and
the ground, and the distance between the anti-
tip wheel and rear wheel, should be approx.
5 cm.
4. Folding
To swing the anti-tip device under the wheelchair,
press the cap (E) downwards and then sideways.
NOTE! A red warning sticker can now be seen.
To activate the anti-tip device, just swing it back in
place and it will lock into position automatically.
NOTE! When the anti-tip device is correctly activa-
ted the warning sticker will be hidden.
Use your foot when folding the anti-tip device.
If you do it by hand, there is an increased risk
that you will trap your fingers between the
anti-tip housing and the tube.
Never forget to fold down the anti-tip devices
or the wheelchair may tip over.
Make sure the anti-tip device is securely locked
before use.
Use extended anti-tip devices when an extended
rear weel attachment is used.
