tube. See Figure 13-1.
2. To rotate the anti-tips upward, press the two release buttons on the extension tube to release the extension tube and
rotate upward until the release button locks in place on the opposite side of the anti-tip receiver.
3. To remove the anti-tip, press the release button on the extension tube and pull the extension tube out of the anti-tip
receiver.

Mounting the Anti-Tip Receiver

I WARNING
Only an authorized Permobil Manual dealer or qualified technician should install the anti-tip receiver.

replacement Allen screws when ordering your anti-tips.
Tools Needed:
• 4 mm Allen Wrench

• 10 mm Open End Wrench
1. Remove the rear wheels and place the frame on a level surface.

3. Thread the Allen screw through the right side camber mount, right side anti-tip receiver and the washer and securely
tighten the nylock nut. See Figure 13-2.
Note: Make sure that the anti-tip receiver is oriented to be parallel to the floor.
5. Repeat Step 3 on the left side camber mount and the left side anti-tip receiver.
6. Reinstall the camber tube. See "Replacing the Camber Tube" on page 8-3.
