WARNING
Traveling with the anti-tip device detached, retracted, or

rollover. Never travel without adjusting them properly.
• “Standard length” means the adjusted length of
the anti-tip device so that they touch the ground
when the casters are lifted 5 to 10 cm.
• When going over a high curb with an assistant, it
is necessary to momentarily retract the anti-tip
device. Even in such cases, remember to return
the device to their original position as soon as
possible.
• Do not hang any objects on the controller or the
assistant controller. There is a risk of the
wheelchair moving unexpectedly.
