6.9 Adjusting the anti-tipper
WARNING
Incorrect installation of the anti-tipper/missing anti-tipper
Tipping over, falling of the user due to failure to observe the installation instructions and because of incorrect
adjustment
► Depending upon the settings of the chassis, the centre of gravity, the back angle and the experience of the
user, the use of an anti-tipper may be necessary.
► For a small wheelbase and a backrest that is tilted far back, an anti-tipper may need to be installed on both
sides, depending upon the user's experience.
► Verify that the anti-tipper has been installed and adjusted properly. Find the appropriate position with the
assistance of a helper.
WARNING
Anti-tipper not intended
Tipping over of the user due to missing safety devices
► For the CLT and CLT Ultra versions with permanently welded drive wheel adapter, installation of an anti-tip
per is not intended.
► Therefore examine the user intensively for suitability (adequate physiological capabilities) before fitting the
user with this version. These wheelchair versions are intended only for experienced users with sporting ambi
tions who, thanks to their physiological capabilities, are able to handle the wheelchair proficiently.
INFORMATION
In order to adjust the anti-tipper correctly, it may be necessary to combine the steps to adjust the length and
angle.
Adjusting the length of the wheel retainer
1) Remove the Allen head screw on the wheel retainer (see fig. 75, item 1).
2) Adjust the length of the wheel retainer (see fig. 75, item 2).
3) Tighten the wheel retainer. The outer edge of the anti-tipper roller has to project beyond the largest diameter of
the tyre (see fig. 76, item 1).
Adjusting the wheel retainer angle
1) Remove the Allen head screw between the anti-tipper tube and the angle adjuster (see fig. 75, item 3).
2) Loosen the second Allen head screw on the angle adjuster (see fig. 75, item 4).
3) Set the angle of the wheel retainer.
4) Tighten the wheel retainer. The maximum permissible distance between the anti-tipper rollers and floor is
50 mm (see fig. 76, item 2).
