7.9 Anti-tipper (option)

WARNING

Incorrect use of the anti-tipper by the attendant

Tipping over, falling of the user due to improper operation of a safety device

► Only deactivate the anti-tipper before negotiating high curbs or steps so that it cannot strike the obstacle,

since this could damage it. Activate the anti-tipper again afterwards.

► The anti-tipper has to engage audibly prior to use. Verify a firm fit.

► If you believe the anti-tipper needs to be adjusted, please contact the qualified personnel that adapted the

product.

The anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping backwards when overcoming obstacles and going uphill.

The anti-tipper is mounted according to the order. The anti-tipper is adjusted so that the maximum ground clear

ance is 50 mm (see fig. 43). As a minimum, the anti-tipper rollers must project fully beyond the outer radius of the

rear wheel/drive wheel.

Negotiating lowered curbs

Low obstacles (e.g. lowered curbs) can be negotiated with the anti-tipper activated (see fig. 43). When ascending

an obstacle, the anti-tipper rollers contact the ground and prevent tipping over backwards.

Negotiating high curbs/steps

When negotiating high curbs and steps, the anti-tipper must be deactivated by the attendant before tipping the

mobility base for seating shells in order to avoid damaging the anti-tipper:

1) Push the anti-tipper down slightly (see fig. 43, item 1).

2) Turn the anti-tipper under the frame tube by approx. 90° until it engages.

→ Now the wheelchair can be moved over the obstacle forwards/backwards.

3) Reactivate the anti-tipper after crossing the obstacle: In order to do so, push the anti-tipper slightly downwards

and turn it back by approx. 90° until it engages.

50 mm

The tip-assist (see fig. 44) makes it easier for an attendant to tip up the mobility base for seating shells, e.g. to

cross a step/curb:

1) At an obstacle, place one foot on the tip-assist and push down.

2) Simultaneously pushing down on the push handles/push bar allows the mobility base for seating shells to be

tipped up easily.
