6.9 Adjusting the anti-tipper

WARNING

Incorrect installation of the anti-tipper/missing anti-tipper

Tipping  over,  falling  of  the  user  due  to  failure  to  observe  the  installation  instructions  and  because  of  incorrect
adjustment

Depending upon the settings of the chassis, the centre of gravity, the back angle and the experience of the
user, the use of an anti-tipper may be necessary.

For a small wheelbase and a backrest that is tilted far back, an anti-tipper may need to be installed on both
sides, depending upon the user's experience. 

Verify  that  the  anti-tipper  has  been  installed  and  adjusted  properly.  Find  the  appropriate  position  with  the
assistance of a helper.

INFORMATION

In  order  to  adjust  the  anti-tipper  correctly,  it  may  be  necessary  to  combine  the  steps  to  adjust  the  length  and
angle.

Adjusting the height of the anti-tipper

1)  Remove the Allen screw between the anti-tipper tube and the adapter tube (see fig. 69, item 1).
2)  Adjust the height of the anti-tipper by sliding it in the adapter tube (see fig. 69, item 2). 

The distance between the anti-tipper rollers and the ground must be 

50 mm

 max.

3)  Tighten the Allen screw to 

7 Nm

.

Adjusting the length of the anti-tipper

1)  Press the push-button on the lower tube section of the anti-tipper (see fig. 70, item 1).
2)  Adjust the length of the anti-tipper (see fig. 70, item 2):

As a minimum, the anti-tipper rollers must project fully beyond the largest diameter of the drive wheel.

3)  Allow the push-button to engage.

6.10 Adjusting the lap belt

CAUTION

Incorrect approach to the adjustment process

Injuries, malpositions, user discomfort due to adjustment errors

The qualified personnel is responsible for the individual positioning and fitting of the belt system.

Adjusting the belt system too tightly may lead to unnecessary pain or user discomfort.

Adjusting the belt system too loosely can cause the user to slide into a dangerous position. In addition, the
fastening snaps could open unintentionally if they slide against hard parts of clothing (e.g. buttons).
