18.2.3 General instructions
When changing the angle of seat or front seat
height each time:
the wheel track of the drive wheels must
be checked and readjusted if necessary
(see chapter 22.2).
the caster wheel axle must be readjusted
(see chapter 23.4).
the backrest angle may have to be reposi-
tioned (see chapter 19.1.3).
make sure the clearance under the footrest
is sufficient. Experience shows that this
should not be less than 4 cm (see chapter
24).
if necessary, the height of the anti-tipping
support may have to be readjusted (see
chapter 25.3).
18.3 Adjusting the tipping point
An optimum tipping property of the product is
reached when the axle mount of the drive
wheels is close to the body centre of gravity. A
product adjusted like this can be driven with
little effort and it also makes it possible to
manage a slightly uneven surface or edges by
tipping slightly. Driving on both drive wheels
(doing a wheelie) is relatively easy to learn.
Inexperienced wheelchair users are prevented
from tipping over backwards by anti-tippers.
In any case, the setting should be made to suit
the wheelchair user's individual requirements
and abilities to ensure safe operation.
18.3.1 Terms, inlets and folding mecha-
nism middle section
The tipping point is set by changing the hori-
zontal position of the wheel plate on the top
and bottom frame tube. The wheel plate on the
top and bottom frame tube is installed using
four M6 fixing screws and two inlets in the
frame tubes.
