make sure that there is sufficient ground
clearance under the footrest. Experience
shows that this should not be less than
4 cm (see Chapter 24).
if necessary, the height of the anti-tipping
support may have to be readjusted (see
chapter 25.3).
18.3 Adjusting the tipping point
Optimum product tipping behaviour
is
achieved when the axle mount of the drive
wheels is close to the body centre of gravity. A
product adjusted like this can be driven with
little effort and it also makes it possible to
manage a slightly uneven surface or edges by
tipping slightly. Driving on both drive wheels
(doing a wheelie) is relatively easy to learn.
Inexperienced wheelchair users must be pre-
vented from tipping over backwards by means
of anti-tipping supports.
To ensure safe operation, the
tipping point
setting
should always be selected to suit the
wheelchair user's individual requirements and
abilities.
18.3.1 Terms, inlets and folding mecha-
nism middle section
The tipping point is set by changing the hori-
zontal position of the wheel plate on the frame.
The wheel plate on the top and bottom frame
tube is installed using four M6 fixing screws
and two inlets in the frame tubes.
