ACCESSORIES
Each model can be equipped with various accessories that should be evaluated according to the needs of the occupant and assistant.
Some of the images in this manual may show a wheelchair model different from the one under discussion.
However, all instructions are relevant, regardless of model differences .
7.1
Narrow passage transit wheels
This accessory becomes necessary when the dimensions of the wheelchair impede getting into or passing through narrow rooms such as a door or a lift.
To use this accessory, you should remove the rear wheels. This makes the wheelchair narrower and shorter.
When using this accessory, you should turn the anti-tip wheels upward (see "anti-tip wheel").
Remember that while using the transit wheels (with the rear wheels removed), the parking brakes will not work at all.
The stability of the wheelchair resting on the wheels for narrow passages is reduced, therefore pay great attention and
seek help from an assistant.
7.2
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.
You can have the anti-tip wheel can be fitted on one or, for more 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.
When, for instance, you need to go over a step, you can turn the anti-tip wheel upward or you can remove it.
To turn the anti-tip wheel up, down, or remove it completely, press the pin A and rotate or pull out the anti-
tipper.
To insert the anti-tipper, slide it inside the post B, turn it up or down as needed, and then make sure that the
pin A slots into hole C.
