Verify that your wheelchair corresponds with your order:

- Measure the seat width.

- Measure the height of the backrest.

- Ensure you have received the accessories you ordered.

Conduct a technical inspection of your wheelchair, ensuring that:

- the drive wheel’s quick release can easily be shifted in and out of its casings.

- the drive wheel is firmly attached following installation.

- the quick release button springs out fully while in locked position.

- all four wheels are in contact with the floor.

- the caster fork can be rotated with ease.

- the backrest folds down easily.

Balance and tipping capacity

The angle of the backrest, the adjustment of the backrest upholstery and the position of

the drive wheel are what most affect the wheelchair’s balance and tipping capacity. After

adapting your chair, check that you

feel confident about the balance of the chair.

The tipping capacity of the chair may also be affected if a bag is hung on the backrest, if

you lean or stretch backwards, if the tyres are worn or contain insufficient air or if there is

an unexpected change to the surface you are driving on.

Anti-tip device

Panthera wheelchairs are designed to be as manoeuvrable as possible, which means

the chair responds quickly and seamlessly to the actions you perform. If you perform the

wrong actions you could

tip over in the chair

. If you operate the wheelchair incorrectly and

do not have an anti-tip device,

there is a risk you may

tip backwards

The anti-tip devices

are a safety feature designed to

prevent you from falling backwards

in the wheelchair

. If you have the slightest doubt about the balance of the wheelchair, the

anti-tip devices should always be fully extended. If you operate or use the chair in such a

manner that the anti-tip devices are used regularly, or if your model is equipped with elec

trically powered wheels, the load on the devices will increase and they must be checked

daily.
