Verify that your wheelchair corresponds with your order:
- Measure the seat width.
- Measure the seat depth.
- Ensure you have received the accessories you ordered.
Conduct a technical inspection of your wheelchair, ensuring that:
- the rear wheel’s quick release can easily be shifted in and out of its casings.
- the rear wheel is firmly attached following installation.
- the quick release button springs out fully while in locked position.
- the caster fork can be rotated with ease.
Balance and tipping capacity
What affects the balance and tipping capacity most is the position of the rear wheels
and the backrest upholstery adjustment. 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 have insufficient air pressure 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 device is a safety feature that is intended to prevent falling backwards in the
wheelchair.
The anti-tip device must always be used on wheelchair model Micro 3 and must be
checked daily.
