Anti-Tip Wheel Adjustment
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your Jet increased
stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at
the factory to a height of 3/4 in. off the ground. This setting is
for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using
your Jet on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the
anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs.
The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the fol-
lowing occur:
n When coming to a stop, your Jet tips forward exces-
sively.
n The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
Required Tool: 13-mm wrench
NOTE: Each drive tire must have at least 30 psi of air
pressure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly ad-
justed.
WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride pro-
vider before attempting to adjust the anti-tip
wheel height! Changing the anti-tip wheel
height affects handling under deceleration!
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud. See VII. “Disassembly.”
2. Adjust the anti-tip adjustment nut so that the anti-tip
wheel is 1/2 to 1 inch off of the ground. Turn the nut
clockwise to raise the anti-tip wheel and counterclock-
wise to lower the anti-tip wheel. See figure 22.
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip
wheels, the more you increase your power
chair’s tendency to tilt forward when coming
to a stop. You can compensate for this by hav-
ing your authorized Pride provider make a
small adjustment to the pre-programmed de-
celeration setting in the controller or by mov-
ing the seat assembly further to the rear of
your power chair.
