ANTI-TIP WHEELS
The Jet 3 mid-wheel drive design provides superior performance and safety. The anti-tip wheels are an integral
part of this design, because they provide stability during deceleration. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory
Consult your authorized Pride provider before attempting to
to a height of 1/2-in. off the ground. This is the ideal setting for most Jet 3 users. However, you may encounter
change the anti-tip wheel height! Changing the anti-tip height affects handling
situations where you may need to adjust the anti-tip wheels. For instance, if you drive your Jet 3 on deep-pile
carpeting or similar surfaces, you may notice that the anti-tip wheels have a tendency to drag on the carpet. In this
case, you may need to raise the anti-tip wheels. If you drive your Jet 3 primarily on smooth surfaces, such as
linoleum or tile, you may find that you are tipping forward a bit more than you find comfortable. (This may be
particulary true for lighter users.) In this case, you may need to lower the anti-tip wheels.
WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride provider before attempting to change the anti-tip wheel
height! Changing the anti-tip wheel height affects handling under deceleration!
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more you increase your power chair’s
tendency to tilt forward when coming to a stop. You can compensate for this by having your
authorized Pride provider make a small adjustment to the pre-programmed deceleration setting in
the controller or by moving the seat assembly further to the rear of your power chair.
Required Tools: 13 mm wrench.
To adjust the anti-tip wheel height:
1. Remove the seat, the body shroud, and the batteries. See VI. “Disassembly” and VII. “Batteries and Charging.”
2. Locate the jam nut and bolt on the anti-tip assembly. See figure 15.
3. Use a 13 mm wrench to loosen the jam nut.
4. Turn the bolt clockwise to raise the anti-tip wheel. Turn the bolt counterclockwise to lower the anti-tip wheel.
5. Tighten the jam nut.
6. Repeat for other anti-tip wheel.
