SUPPORT CASTOR
The inward swivelling support castor
(1) serves to increase the tilting stabil-
ity and can be removed for folding
the wheelchair (2).
☞
The support castor can be mounted
singly or as a pair on both sides.
☞
Swivelling or removing the support
castor can be done by an attendant
or aid.
!
Attention:
For increasing the tilting stability
never drive without the support
castor swivelled inward or extend-
ed.
•
The support castor does not pro-
vide suffi cient protection against
tipping over in certain situations.
Therefore, do not:
▲
Leaning the upper body far back.
▲
When the wheelchair starts sud-
denly, especially when driving up-
hill.
▲
Driving over steps, e.g. curbs or
stairs.
– Danger of falling over forwards.
