3.1.4 Transit safety wheels

1) The Transit safety wheels (TSW) save and elaborate
(
change, reseating, mounting on and off when getting
in to a bus, train, airplane, bath room etc. You have
three functions that correspond with the holes:
(A) inactive anti-tipper
(B) active ant-tipper
(C) Transit wheels
ATTENTION
Changing to and from the Transit mode can only
happen on even grounds since the wheel lock is
useless without the rear wheels.
In the Transit mode both TSW have to be firm in the
bottom hole of the disc (1,C). When you are securely
on both Transit wheels and both rear wheels can
freely move, you can remove the rear wheels.
When transferring from tight spaces there is a RISK
OF BRUISING fingers1
Use
(2) To bring the TSW from the inactive position to the
anti-tipper position loosen the red levers on both sides
(1,D).
Let the TSW glide down until they are tightly snapped
in to the middle hole (1,B) of the hole plate.
(3) In order to use the TSW as transit wheels unlock
both wheels with the red levers (1,D)
and let the TSW glide down to the ground (the lever
cannot snap in to place in this position!).
Jack up the wheelchair (about 1 cm) by having your
accompanying person put a foot behind the wheel as
resistance and simultaneously pulls the wheelchair
towards him. The red levers automatically snap into
place in the bottom position (1,C). If the rear wheels
can freely move (4) you can remove it.

Alternatively to this, you can independently, sitting in
the wheelchair, with a jolt of the pelvis to the left/right
relieve and lift the respective side so that the TSW can
snap in to the bottom position. Remove the wheels
and pass through the tight space.
After, attach the rear wheels and unlock the TSW with
the red lever (1D). The wheelchair will sink about 1 cm
and stands on its "own" wheels.
Bring the TSW in the wanted inactive (1A) or anti-tipper
position (1B) by guiding the wheels up, while pushing
the red levers, until they snap in to the wanted holes.
