Anti Tip Wheels - progeo YOGA User Manual

With the use of this accessory the wheelchair becomes both
narrower and shorter.
The transit wheels can also be removed from their support by
sliding the tube off its support after pressing the release button
"A" which locks it in position.
For a correct assembly of the transit wheel it must be remembered
that when inserting it into the support, the pin "A" should always face
toward the inside of the wheelchair
It must be remembered that while using the transit
wheels (with the rear wheels removed), the parking
brakes will not work at all.

7.3 Anti tip wheels

(figure 81)
This accessory has been designed to prevent the wheelchair from
tipping back. In order to ensure that it works correctly it should be
adjusted to a distance of 2-3 cm from the ground.
The adjustment of the height is carried out as follows:
Remove the fixing screw "A" (using a 3 mm Allen key and a 8
mm spanner).
Raise or lower the anti-tip wheel tube by sliding it up or down
the support "S" , until the desired height is reached.
Once the correct position has been reached re-tighten the
screws "A" in the nearest hole.
The anti-tip wheels can be removed completely or simply rotated
inwards depending on requirements, for example, when ascending
steps.
To rotate the anti-tip wheel inwards push it down enough to free
the locking system and turn the anti-tip tube inwards by 180° .
To remove the anti tipper, first push forward the fixing pin "P"
positioned in the upper part of the support "S" and pull the
armrest down. Insert and push the armrest up in the support hole
in order to fix it. An audible click indicates that the support is
locked.

back the wheelchair without a great effort so as to go over small
steps easily. With one foot, press down on the plastic support
while, at the same time, applying downward force onto the push
handles.
