5.2 Stabilisers
The stabilisers (Fig. 48) provide increased
stability from tipping and can be swiv-
elled inwards under the seat (Fig. 49).
Warning:
In certain situations, stabilisers do not
!
provide sufficient protection against
overturning.
Therefore never:
Lean the upper body too far back.
Start off too quickly, particularly when
travelling uphill.
Note:
Please observe the advice given in
the booklet "Safety Information for
Mechanical Wheelchairs"!
