ACCESSORIES
This model can be equipped with different accessories that should be evaluated according to the
user’s and/or his/her attendant’s needs.
7.1
Transit wheels
This accessory becomes
necessary when the dimensions
of the wheelchair impede getting
in or through narrow rooms such
as a door or a lift.
To use this accessory you have
to remove the rear wheels.
This way, the wheelchair
becomes narrower and shorter.
You can remove the transit wheel from its support.
Press the pin A that holds it and slide the tube off the support S.
To put on the transit wheel, insert the tube in the support S until the pin A touches the same
support. Then, press the pin and slide the tube in until the pin locks in the hole of the support.
For a correct assembly of the transit wheel, you have to remember that when inserting it
into the support, the pin A should always face toward the inside of the wheelchair
You have to remember that while using the transit wheels (with the rear wheels
removed), the parking brakes will not work at all.
7.2
Anti-tip wheel
This accessory is designed to prevent the wheelchair from tipping back.
To be efficient, it is fixed at approximately 2-3 cm from the ground.
You can have the anti-tip wheel on one or, for more safety, on both side of the wheelchair.
In order to check the correct position of use, with one hand, take hold of the
tube and try to move it right and left: the tube should not turn (there may be a
little play). Then, push the tube downward: the tube goes down by
approximately 1 cm but it must not come off.
After this check, verify the efficiency of the system with an
attendant. It is necessary to raise the front of the wheelchair until
the anti-tip wheel touches the ground and prevent the wheelchair
from tipping. Take great care when performing this operation.
You can remove or swing in the anti-tip wheel when, for instance, you have to go over a step.
To swing the anti-tip wheel, push it down by approximately 1 cm (the part A of the support moves
away from the part B without coming off) and turn it sideward.
When you turn the anti-tip wheel by 180° (opposite position), the support automatically locks (the
part A locks in the part B).
To remove the anti-tip wheel, push the pin P that is located
in the upper side of the support S and push the tube down.
To put the anti-tip wheel on, insert the part A of the support
in the hole of the part B and turn the tube until the two parts
locks together.
Due to the precision of the supports A and B, inserting and removing the
anti-tip wheel is possible only with vertical movement.
