Appendix C - Anti-tippers
Since your wheelchair may already be equipped with anti-tippers, Alber anti-tippers are
only offered as optional accessories. The use of original wheelchair anti-tippers is subject
to the instructions and safety information provided by the manufacturer that apply to
their use.
When using Alber anti-tippers, two further brackets are fitted to your wheelchair in which
the anti-tippers are inserted. The following instructions and safety precautions apply.
Fitting and removing the Alber anti-tippers
•
Switch off the two Esprit wheels before fitting the anti-tippers.
•
Remove the quickpin [92] from the bracket mounting fork [93] by pressing on the pin
in with your thumb and pulling it out using your index and middle finger.
•
Push the clamping piece for the anti-tipper [94] into the bracket mounting fork [93].
•
Lock the bracket mounting fork [93] in place using the quickpin [92]. To do this,
press the pin in with your thumb and then push it
fully
into the bracket as far as it
will go.
•
Check that the quickpin [92] holds fast in the bracket mounting fork [93]. It must not
be able to be removed without pressing the releasing device.
•
Fit the second anti-tipper.
Follow the above sequence in reverse to remove the anti-tippers.
