ACCESSORIES

7.1

Anti-tip wheel

This accessory is designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping back.
To be efficient, it is fixed at approximately 2-3 cm from the ground.
You can have the anti-tip wheel on one or, for more safety, on both side of the wheelchair.
Verify the efficiency of the system with an attendant. It is necessary to raise the front of
the wheelchair until the anti-tip wheel touches the ground and prevent the wheelchair
from tipping. Take great care when performing this operation.
When, for instance, you have to go over a step, you can turn the anti-tip wheel upward or you can
remove it.
To turn the anti-tip wheel upward or remove it, press the pin K and turn or remove the tube with the
wheel.
7.2

Transit wheels

Note that, when using the transit wheels, (rear wheels removed), the brakes do not
work.
This accessory becomes necessary when the
dimensions of the wheelchair impede getting in or
through narrow rooms such as a door or a lift.
To use this accessory, you have to remove the rear
wheels.
This way, the wheelchair becomes narrower and
shorter.
When using this accessory, you have to turn the
anti-tip wheels upward.
