4.2.3 Support wheels
Figure 153. Support wheels.
The wheelchair can be fitted with support wheels to reduce the risk
of tipping. If your wheelchair is fitted with support wheels, they
must remain installed.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping - do not remove support wheels
If the wheelchair is fitted with support wheels, they must remain fitted to
reduce the risk of the wheelchair tipping forward due to speed or
prevailing circumstances. It is important to drive the wheelchair at a safe
speed to reduce the need for sudden stops that may cause the wheelchair
to tip forward. See pages page 175 – page 177. Always be aware of the
seat position and how it might affect the stability of the wheelchair on
different surfaces, even with support wheels.
