The anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping backwards when overcoming obstacles and going uphill. It is
set for a maximum ground clearance of 50 mm and so that the anti-tipper rollers, as a minimum, project fully bey­
ond the largest diameter of the drive wheels.
The tip-assist makes overcoming obstacles easier for the attendant.
