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.
