Anti-tip wheel
This accessory is designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
To be efficient, it is fixed at approximately 2-3 cm from the ground.
The anti-tip wheel can be fitted on one or, for greater safety, on both sides of the wheelchair.
After this check, verify the efficiency of the system with an assistant. The front of the wheelchair must be raised until the anti-tip wheel touches the ground and prevents the wheelchair
from tipping. Take great care when performing this operation.
(1) To check for the correct operating position, take hold of the post with one hand and try to move it right and left: the post should not turn (there may be a little play). Then, push the post downward: the post goes
down by approximately 1 cm, but it must not come off.
You can remove or swing in the anti-tip wheel when, for instance, you need to go over a step.
(2) (3) (4) To swing the anti-tip wheel, push it down by approximately 1 cm (the part A of the support moves away from the part B without coming off) and turn it sideward.
When you turn the anti-tip wheel by 180° (opposite position), the support automatically locks (the part A locks in the part B).
(5) (6) To remove the anti-tip wheel, push the pin P that you find in the upper side of the support and push the post down.
(6) To put the anti-tip wheel on, insert the part A of the support in the hole of the part B and turn the post until the two parts locks together.

The supports A and B are precisely machined; thus the anti-tip wheel may be inserted only with a vertical movement.
