Figure 12
Anti-tip stabiliser/tipping bar Figure 11
The anti-tip stabiliser is put into position by
pulling it out and turning it in a downward
direction simultaneously. The anti-tip
stabiliser is adjusted as standard with
a clearance to the base that makes it
possible to mount doorsteps etc.
The tipping bar is accessible when the
anti-tip stabiliser is up or down.
Tilting Figure 12
When you tilt the chair, the balance point
is retained. As you tilt the chair backwards,
the back opens 8°. You can use various
methods for tilting the chair depending on
your function level:
• The assistant squeezes the tilt lever and
the user leans forward/backward
• The assistant squeezes the tilt lever and
the user pulls himself forward/pushes
himself backward using his hands
A user-controlled tilt lever which the user
can use without the help of an assistant, is
available as an accessory.
The balance point on Emineo can be
adjusted for optimal use in relation to the
user’s function level and weight. See page
21.
Do not put hands etc. between
the side frame and leg support
attachments when tilting the
wheelchair.
