Anti-Tip Wheel Adjustment

The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are
preset 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 coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward excessively.
! The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride Provider before attempting to change the anti-tip height!
Changing the anti-tip wheel height affects handling under deceleration!
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more tendency you increase your power chair's
tendency to tilt forward decelerating. You can compensate for this by having your authorized Pride
Provider make a small adjustment to the pre-programmed deceleration setting in the controller or by
moving the seat assembly farther to the back of your power chair.
PROHIBITED! Do not remove the anti-tip wheels.
NOTE : Each drive tire must have at least 35 psi (2.4 bar) of air pressure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be
properly adjusted.
To adjust the anti-tips:
1. Make sure the power chair is in drive mode.
2. Loosen the nut and bolt that fasten the anti-tip spring to the anti-tip arm. See figure 31.
3. Remove the anti-tip adjustment bolt.
4. Raise or lower the anti-tip wheel in 1/4-in. (0.64 cm) increments.
5. Replace the hardware into the appropriate hole and tighten.
